ANALYSIS OF WEB SEARCH ALGORITHM HITS
Dawei Hong, Shushuang Man · International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science · 2004
One of the well known Web search algorithms is HITS by Kleinberg [9]. We analyze the stability of HITS, when and how much outputs of HITS depend on initial values chosen by the algorithm. More importantly, we proposed a model for a type of hyperlink structures, which have been frequently observed on the Web, and we prove that in the model a crucial technical assumption made in HITS is satisfied, and accordingly HITS works well.
