Abstract(in English) Many complex networks found in natural and engineering systems are directed in the meaning that each link has direction. The direction of the link represents the asymmetric relationship between two nodes. For example, the node at the source of a link may control the one at the target of the same link. A representative centrality measure (i.e., importance of nodes) for directed networks is the PageRank used in the search engine of Google. In practice, it is difficult to obtain the exact values of the PageRank because of the huge size of relevant networks and incomplete information about the presence or the absence of nodes and links in networks. We present an approximation scheme for the PageRank in the case in which the network has community structure. Using the so-called matrix-tree theorem, we approximate the PageRank of a node by combining the strength of the node within the module that it belongs to and the strength of the module in the coarse grained global network among modules.
