Is there some quantitative version of interlacing of eigenvalues of a matrix under rank-1 update?
Given a real symmetric matrix $A$ and a vector $v$ of the same dimension we know that the eigenvalues of $A + vv^T$ are left interlaced by the eigenvalues of $A$.
But do we have any quantitative ...

Coherence between different ranking methods of a graph's vertices
Given a (connected) graph $G$ it is natural to want to rank its vertices, with the more "central" vertices ranked higher.
Two natural ways of doing it are:
By the degrees.
By the entries in a Perron ...
