The detail of eigenvector_centrality_numpy()

[Nurul Jannah]

Hi everyone! Since I'm new in this group let me introduce myself. My name is Nurul and I'm a last-year student. 

I'm on my thesis about social network analysis which identifies important actors using the eigenvector centrality. I have to know the detail of eigenvector_centrality_numpy() so I can write it properly in my thesis. 

I'm confused, since eigenvector_centrality_numpy() uses ARPACK, is it means  eigenvector_centrality_numpy() uses the Implicitly restarted Arnoldi method instead of the power method?

Best regards

Nurul

Yes eigenvector_centrality_numpy() uses the Arnoldi method as it uses https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.sparse.linalg.eigs.html underneath. The python implementation eigenvector_centrality() uses power iteration method.

thank you so much for answering me.

can you please help me to answer this question that I wrote in StackOverflow? is there any way to print out every iteration of the process of eigenvector_centrality_numpy()?
