The random walk normalized Laplacian is defined as
where A is the adjacency matrix and D is the degree matrix. Since the degree matrix D is diagonal, its inverse is simply defined as a diagonal matrix, having diagonal entries which are the reciprocals of the corresponding positive diagonal entries of D.

With random persons whom you do not know—”
