A spectral sparsifier of a graph $G$ is a sparser graph $H$ that approximately preserves the quadratic form of $G$, i.e. for all vectors $x$, $x^T L_G x \approx x^T L_H x$, where $L_G$ and $L_H$ denote the respective graph Laplacians.…
We show that preconditioners constructed by random sampling can perform well without meeting the standard requirements of iterative methods. When applied to graph Laplacians, this leads to ultra-sparsifiers that in expectation behave as the…
