We study the problem of compressing a weighted graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, building a "sketch" $H$ of $G$, so that given any vector $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$, the value $x^T L_G x$ can be approximated up to a multiplicative $1+\epsilon$ factor…

We introduce a notion of code sparsification that generalizes the notion of cut sparsification in graphs. For a (linear) code $\mathcal{C} \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^n$ of dimension $k$ a $(1 \pm \epsilon)$-sparsification of size $s$ is given…

We consider a fundamental algorithmic question in spectral graph theory: Compute a spectral sparsifier of random-walk matrix-polynomial $$L_\alpha(G)=D-\sum_{r=1}^d\alpha_rD(D^{-1}A)^r$$ where $A$ is the adjacency matrix of a weighted,…

We propose an $O(\log n)$-approximation algorithm for the bipartiteness ratio of undirected graphs introduced by Trevisan (SIAM Journal on Computing, vol. 41, no. 6, 2012), where $n$ is the number of vertices. Our approach extends the…

A symmetric matrix is called a Laplacian if it has nonpositive off-diagonal entries and zero row sums. Since the seminal work of Spielman and Teng (2004) on solving Laplacian linear systems in nearly linear time, several algorithms have…

The explicit split-operator algorithm is often used for solving the linear and nonlinear time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equations. However, when applied to certain nonlinear time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equations, this algorithm loses…

Graph sparsification is a well-established technique for accelerating graph-based learning algorithms, which uses edge sampling to approximate dense graphs with sparse ones. Because the sparsification error is random and unknown, users must…
