We prove that every graph has a spectral sparsifier with a number of edges linear in its number of vertices. As linear-sized spectral sparsifiers of complete graphs are expanders, our sparsifiers of arbitrary graphs can be viewed as…

We design a randomized data structure that, for a fully dynamic graph $G$ updated by edge insertions and deletions and integers $k, d$ fixed upon initialization, maintains the answer to the Split Completion problem: whether one can add $k$…

A non-trivial minimum cut (NMC) sparsifier is a multigraph $\hat{G}$ that preserves all non-trivial minimum cuts of a given undirected graph $G$. We introduce a flexible data structure for fully dynamic graphs that can efficiently provide…

A sparsifier of a graph $G$ (Bencz\'ur and Karger; Spielman and Teng) is a sparse weighted subgraph $\tilde G$ that approximately retains the cut structure of $G$. For general graphs, non-trivial sparsification is possible only by using…

For any undirected and weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, we call a sparse subgraph $H$ of $G$, with proper reweighting of the edges, a $(1+\varepsilon)$-spectral sparsifier if \[…

We show variants of spectral sparsification routines can preserve the total spanning tree counts of graphs, which by Kirchhoff's matrix-tree theorem, is equivalent to determinant of a graph Laplacian minor, or equivalently, of any SDDM…

We introduce a new approach to spectral sparsification that approximates the quadratic form of the pseudoinverse of a graph Laplacian restricted to a subspace. We show that sparsifiers with a near-linear number of edges in the dimension of…

Graph sparsification has been studied extensively over the past two decades, culminating in spectral sparsifiers of optimal size (up to constant factors). Spectral hypergraph sparsification is a natural analogue of this problem, for which…

Graphs arising in statistical problems, signal processing, large networks, combinatorial optimization, and data analysis are often dense, which causes both computational and storage bottlenecks. One way of \textit{sparsifying} a…
