In spectral graph theory, the Cheeger's inequality gives upper and lower bounds of edge expansion in normal graphs in terms of the second eigenvalue of the graph's Laplacian operator. Recently this inequality has been extended to undirected…

We prove a new generalization of the higher-order Cheeger inequality for partitioning with buffers. Consider a graph $G=(V,E)$. The buffered expansion of a set $S \subseteq V$ with a buffer $B \subseteq V \setminus S$ is the edge expansion…

We define a new Cheeger-like constant for graphs and we use it for proving Cheeger-like inequalities that bound the largest eigenvalue of the normalized Laplace operator.

We extend several Cheeger-type isoperimetric bounds for convex sets in Euclidean space, due to Bobkov and Kannan-Lov\'asz-Simonovits, to Riemannian manifolds having non-negative Ricci curvature. In order to extend Bobkov's bound, we require…

We consider non-negative $\sigma$-finite measure spaces coupled with a proper functional $P$ that plays the role of a perimeter. We introduce the Cheeger problem in this framework and extend many classical results on the Cheeger constant…

We develop the notion of higher Cheeger constants for a measurable set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$. By the $k$-th Cheeger constant we mean the value \[h_k(\Omega) = \inf \max \{h_1(E_1), \dots, h_1(E_k)\},\] where the infimum is taken…

Cheeger's fundamental inequality states that any edge-weighted graph has a vertex subset $S$ such that its expansion (a.k.a. conductance) is bounded as follows: \[ \phi(S) \defeq \frac{w(S,\bar{S})}{\min \set{w(S), w(\bar{S})}} \leq…

Cosystolic expansion is a high-dimensional generalization of the Cheeger constant for simplicial complexes. Originally, this notion was motivated by the fact that it implies the topological overlapping property, but more recently it was…

We show a strong version of the fractional quantitative isoperimetric inequality, in which the isoperimetric deficit controls not only the Fraenkel asymmetry but also a sort of oscillation of the boundary. This generalizes the local result…

We consider a generalization of the Cheeger problem in a bounded, open set $\Omega$ by replacing the perimeter functional with a Finsler-type surface energy and the volume with suitable powers of a weighted volume. We show that any…

In \cite{Elek} we proved that the limit of a weakly convergent sequence of finite graphs can be viewed as a graphing or a continuous field of infinite graphs. Thus one can associate a type $II_1$-von Neumann algebra to such graph sequences.…
