We consider effective preconditioners for solving Laplacians of general weighted graphs. Theoretically, spectral sparsifiers (SSs) provide preconditioners of optimal computational complexity. However, they are not easy to use for real-world…
A classic result in graph theory, due to Batson, Spielman, and Srivastava (STOC 2009) shows that every graph admits a $(1 \pm \varepsilon)$ cut (or spectral) sparsifier which preserves only $O(n / \varepsilon^2)$ reweighted edges. However,…
We introduce a new algorithmic framework for designing dynamic graph algorithms in minor-free graphs, by exploiting the structure of such graphs and a tool called vertex sparsification, which is a way to compress large graphs into small…

In graph sparsification, the goal has almost always been of {global} nature: compress a graph into a smaller subgraph ({sparsifier}) that maintains certain features of the original graph. Algorithms can then run on the sparsifier, which in…
Graph-based techniques and spectral graph theory have enriched the field of machine learning with a variety of critical advances. A central object in the analysis is the graph Laplacian L, which encodes the structure of the graph. We…

For an undirected/directed hypergraph $G=(V,E)$, its Laplacian $L_G\colon\mathbb{R}^V\to \mathbb{R}^V$ is defined such that its ``quadratic form'' $\boldsymbol{x}^\top L_G(\boldsymbol{x})$ captures the cut information of $G$. In particular,…
