We present a nearly-linear time algorithm that produces high-quality sparsifiers of weighted graphs. Given as input a weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$ and a parameter $\epsilon>0$, we produce a weighted subgraph $H=(V,\tilde{E},\tilde{w})$ of $G$…

We study a discrete time self interacting random process on graphs, which we call Greedy Random Walk. The walker is located initially at some vertex. As time evolves, each vertex maintains the set of adjacent edges touching it that have not…
