Consider the switch chain on the set of $d$-regular bipartite graphs on $n$ vertices with $3\leq d\leq n^{c}$, for a small universal constant $c>0$. We prove that the chain satisfies a Poincar\'e inequality with a constant of order $O(nd)$;…
We study algorithms for spectral graph sparsification. The input is a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and the output is a sparse graph $\tilde{G}$ that approximates $G$ in an algebraic sense. Concretely, for all vectors $x$ and…
In this paper, we study the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators on infinite subgraphs of graphs. For an infinite graph, we prove Cheeger-type estimates for the bottom spectrum of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator, and the higher order Cheeger…
Synchronization is studied in an array of identical linear oscillators of arbitrary order, coupled through a dynamic network comprising dissipative connectors (e.g., dampers) and restorative connectors (e.g., springs). The coupling network…

We report enhancing of complete synchronization in identical chaotic oscillators when their interaction is mediated by a mismatched oscillator. The identical oscillators now interact indirectly through the intermediate relay oscillator. The…

We quantify the dynamical implications of the small-world phenomenon. We consider the generic synchronization of oscillator networks of arbitrary topology, and link the linear stability of the synchronous state to an algebraic condition of…
The 2-Edge-Connected Spanning Subgraph problem (2ECSS) is among the most basic survivable network design problems: given an undirected and unweighted graph, the task is to find a spanning subgraph with the minimum number of edges that is…
We consider a dual Cheeger constant $\overline h$ for finite graphs with edge weights from an arbitrary real-closed ordered field. We obtain estimates of $\overline h$ in terms of number of vertices in graph. Further, we estimate the…
The higher-order Cheeger inequalities were established for graphs by Lee, Oveis Gharan and Trevisan. We prove analogous inequalities for graphons in this article.
Many geometric estimation problems take the form of synchronization over the special Euclidean group: estimate the values of a set of poses given noisy measurements of a subset of their pairwise relative transforms. This problem is…
On finite metric graphs the set of all realizations of the Laplace operator in the edgewise defined $L^2$-spaces are studied. These are defined by coupling boundary conditions at the vertices most of which define non-self-adjoint operators.…
We present an iterative algorithm for solving a class of \\nonlinear Laplacian system of equations in $\tilde{O}(k^2m \log(kn/\epsilon))$ iterations, where $k$ is a measure of nonlinearity, $n$ is the number of variables, $m$ is the number…

Error-tolerant graph matching gathers an important family of problems. These problems aim at finding correspondences between two graphs while integrating an error model. In the Graph Edit Distance (GED) problem, the insertion/deletion of…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators on sparse graphs. The geometric definition of sparseness turn out to be equivalent to a functional inequality for the Laplacian. In consequence, sparseness has in turn strong spectral and functional…
It is known that the inequality $$ \frac{\chi(G)(\chi(G)-1)}{2} + |V| - \chi(G) \leq |E|$$ holds for all connected graphs, where $\chi(G)$ denotes the chromatic number of $G$. We prove that equality holds whenever the graph consists of a…
