We provide the first online algorithm for spectral hypergraph sparsification. In the online setting, hyperedges with positive weights are arriving in a stream, and upon the arrival of each hyperedge, we must irrevocably decide whether or…

Spectral hypergraph sparsification, an attempt to extend well-known spectral graph sparsification to hypergraphs, has been extensively studied over the past few years. For undirected hypergraphs, Kapralov, Krauthgamer, Tardos, and…
The textbook algorithm for real-weighted single-source shortest paths takes $O(mn)$ time on a graph with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices. A recent breakthrough algorithm by [Fin24] takes $\tilde{O}(mn^{8/9})$ randomized time. The running time…

A seminal work of [Ahn-Guha-McGregor, PODS'12] showed that one can compute a cut sparsifier of an unweighted undirected graph by taking a near-linear number of linear measurements on the graph. Subsequent works also studied computing other…
Given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph $G$ with non negative edge-weights, the girth of $G$ is the weight of a shortest cycle in $G$. For any graph $G$ with polynomially bounded integer weights, we present a deterministic algorithm that…

For an undirected/directed hypergraph $G=(V,E)$, its Laplacian $L_G\colon\mathbb{R}^V\to \mathbb{R}^V$ is defined such that its ``quadratic form'' $\boldsymbol{x}^\top L_G(\boldsymbol{x})$ captures the cut information of $G$. In particular,…
