Artem Aliev commented on TINKERPOP-1783:
----------------------------------------
The work around I proposed is incorrect.
The correct behaviour is "user come to random vertex from the sink vertex"
> PageRank gives incorrect results for graphs with sinks
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TINKERPOP-1783
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1783
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: process
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0, 3.1.8, 3.2.6
> Reporter: Artem Aliev
>
> {quote} Sink vertices (those with no outgoing edges) should evenly distribute
> their rank to the entire graph but in the current implementation it is just
> lost.
> {quote}
> Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank#Simplified_algorithm
> {quote} In the original form of PageRank, the sum of PageRank over all pages
> was the total number of pages on the web at that time
> {quote}
> I found the issue, while comparing results with the spark graphX.
> So this is a copy of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18847
> How to reproduce:
> {code}
> gremlin> graph = TinkerFactory.createModern()
> gremlin> g = graph.traversal().withComputer()
> gremlin>
> g.V().pageRank(0.85).times(40).by('pageRank').values('pageRank').sum()
> ==>1.318625
> gremlin> g.V().pageRank(0.85).times(1).by('pageRank').values('pageRank').sum()
> ==>3.4499999999999997
> #inital values:
> gremlin> g.V().pageRank(0.85).times(0).by('pageRank').values('pageRank').sum()
> ==>6.0
> {code}
> They fixed the issue by normalising values after each step.
> The other way to fix is to send the message to it self (stay on the same
> page).
> To workaround the problem just add self pointing edges:
> {code}
> gremlin>g.V().as('B').addE('knows').from('B')
> {code}
> Then you'll get always correct sum. But I'm not sure it is a proper
> assumption.
