Counting the independent sets of a graph is a classical #P-complete problem, even in the bipartite case. We give an exponential-time approximation scheme for this problem which is faster than the best known algorithm for the exact problem.…

We give a new $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation for sparsest cut problem on graphs where small sets expand significantly more than the sparsest cut (sets of size $n/r$ expand by a factor $\sqrt{\log n\log r}$ bigger, for some small $r$; this…
Expander decompositions form the basis of one of the most flexible paradigms for close-to-linear-time graph algorithms. Length-constrained expander decompositions generalize this paradigm to better work for problems with lengths, distances…
Graph sparsification is a well-established technique for accelerating graph-based learning algorithms, which uses edge sampling to approximate dense graphs with sparse ones. Because the sparsification error is random and unknown, users must…

Spectral hypergraph sparsification, an attempt to extend well-known spectral graph sparsification to hypergraphs, has been extensively studied over the past few years. For undirected hypergraphs, Kapralov, Krauthgamer, Tardos, and…
We study algorithms for spectral graph sparsification. The input is a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and the output is a sparse graph $\tilde{G}$ that approximates $G$ in an algebraic sense. Concretely, for all vectors $x$ and…

The graph continual release model of differential privacy seeks to produce differentially private solutions to graph problems under a stream of edge updates where new private solutions are released after each update. Thus far, previously…
We present a nearly-linear time algorithm that produces high-quality sparsifiers of weighted graphs. Given as input a weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$ and a parameter $\epsilon>0$, we produce a weighted subgraph $H=(V,\tilde{E},\tilde{w})$ of $G$…
