In this paper we consider numerical methods for the efficient computation of the absorption inverse and related quantities. Both direct and iterative methods are developed. We also consider different centrality measures for graphs with absorption, as well as fast updating/downdating techniques. Numerical experiments show that computations on graphs with up to 36 million edges can be performed quickly on a standard laptop. © 2019 Elsevier Inc. ER -
