The CheiRank is an eigenvector with a maximal real eigenvalue of the Google matrix G ∗ {\displaystyle G^{*}} constructed for a directed network with the inverted directions of links. It is similar to the PageRank vector, which ranks the network nodes in average proportionally to a number of incoming links being the maximal eigenvector of the Google matrix G {\displaystyle G} with a given initial direction of links. Due to inversion of link directions the CheiRank ranks the network nodes in average proportionally to a number of outgoing links. Since each node belongs both to CheiRank and PageRank vectors the ranking of information flow on a directed network becomes two-dimensional .

However, in order for the power method to converge, the matrix must be stochastic, irreducible and aperiodic . In order to generate the Google matrix G , we must first generate an adjacency matrix A which represents the relations between pages or nodes. Assuming there are N pages, we can fill out A by doing
