PageRank algorithm for Directed Hypergraph

Abstract: During the last two decades, we easilly see that the World Wide Web's link structure is modeled as the directed graph. In this paper, we will model the World Wide Web's link structure as the directed hypergraph. Moreover, we will develop the PageRank algorithm for this directed hypergraph. Due to the lack of the World Wide Web directed hypergraph datasets, we will apply the PageRank algorithm to the metabolic network which is the directed hypergraph itself. The experiments show that our novel PageRank algorithm is successfully applied to this metabolic network.
