Graph structure learning aims to learn connectivity in a graph from data. It is particularly important for many computer vision related tasks since no explicit graph structure is available for images for most cases. A natural way to…

We investigate the structure of conformally rigid graphs. Graphs are conformally rigid if introducing edge weights cannot increase (decrease) the second (last) eigenvalue of the Graph Laplacian. Edge-transitive graphs and distance-regular…

We study the spectral implications of re-weighting a graph by the $\ell_\infty$-Lewis weights of its edges. Our main motivation is the ER-Minimization problem (Saberi et al., SIAM'08): Given an undirected graph $G$, the goal is to find…
