A hypergraph spectral sparsifier of a hypergraph $G$ is a weighted subgraph $H$ that approximates the Laplacian of $G$ to a specified precision. Recent work has shown that similar to ordinary graphs, there exist $\widetilde{O}(n)$-size…
Graphons have traditionally served as limit objects for dense graph sequences, with the cut distance serving as the metric for convergence. However, sparse graph sequences converge to the trivial graphon under the conventional definition of…

Several researchers proposed using non-Euclidean metrics on point sets in Euclidean space for clustering noisy data. Almost always, a distance function is desired that recognizes the closeness of the points in the same cluster, even if the…
Graph matching finds the correspondence of nodes across two correlated graphs and lies at the core of many applications. When graph side information is not available, the node correspondence is estimated on the sole basis of network…
For a graph $G$ spanning a metric space, the dilation of a pair of points is the ratio of their distance in the shortest path graph metric to their distance in the metric space. Given a graph $G$ and a budget $k$, a classic problem is to…
