We study the problem of graph clustering where the goal is to partition a graph into clusters, i.e. disjoint subsets of vertices, such that each cluster is well connected internally while sparsely connected to the rest of the graph. In…

A $(\phi,\epsilon)$-expander-decomposition of a graph $G$ (with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges) is a partition of $V$ into clusters $V_1,\ldots,V_k$ with conductance $\Phi(G[V_i]) \ge \phi$, such that there are at most $\epsilon m$…

In this paper we initiate the study of expander decompositions of a graph $G=(V, E)$ in the streaming model of computation. The goal is to find a partitioning $\mathcal{C}$ of vertices $V$ such that the subgraphs of $G$ induced by the…

Expander decompositions have become one of the central frameworks in the design of fast algorithms. For an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, a near-optimal $\phi$-expander decomposition is a partition $V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k$ of the vertex set $V$…

An $(\epsilon,\phi)$-expander decomposition of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a clustering of the vertices $V=V_{1}\cup\cdots\cup V_{x}$ such that (1) each cluster $V_{i}$ induces subgraph with conductance at least $\phi$, and (2) the number of…

We present the first polynomial-time algorithm for computing a near-optimal \emph{flow}-expander decomposition. Given a graph $G$ and a parameter $\phi$, our algorithm removes at most a $\phi\log^{1+o(1)}n$ fraction of edges so that every…

Expander graphs are known to be robust to edge deletions in the following sense: for any online sequence of edge deletions $e_1, e_2, \ldots, e_k$ to an $m$-edge graph $G$ that is initially a $\phi$-expander, the algorithm can grow a set $P…
