Let $H=(V,E)$ be an edge-weighted hypergraph of rank $r$. Kogan and Krauthgamer extended Bencz\'{u}r and Karger's random sampling scheme for cut sparsification from graphs to hypergraphs. The sampling requires an algorithm for computing the…
Spectral graph sparsification has emerged as a powerful tool in the analysis of large-scale networks by reducing the overall number of edges, while maintaining a comparable graph Laplacian matrix. In this paper, we present an efficient…
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…
A hypergraph spectral sparsifier of a hypergraph $G$ is a weighted subgraph $H$ that approximates the Laplacian of $G$ to a specified precision. Recent work has shown that similar to ordinary graphs, there exist $\widetilde{O}(n)$-size…
For $\alpha \ge 1$, $\beta \ge 0$, and a graph $G$, a spanning subgraph $H$ of $G$ is said to be an $(\alpha, \beta)$-spanner if $\dist(u, v, H) \le \alpha \cdot \dist(u, v, G) + \beta$ holds for any pair of vertices $u$ and $v$. These type…
In recent years, hypergraph generalizations of many graph cut problems have been introduced and analyzed as a way to better explore and understand complex systems and datasets characterized by multiway relationships. Recent work has made…
Recent spectral graph sparsification research allows constructing nearly-linear-sized subgraphs that can well preserve the spectral (structural) properties of the original graph, such as the first few eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the…
Graph sparsification is a powerful tool to approximate an arbitrary graph and has been used in machine learning over homogeneous graphs. In heterogeneous graphs such as knowledge graphs, however, sparsification has not been systematically…
A \emph{sparsification} of a given graph $G$ is a sparser graph (typically a subgraph) which aims to approximate or preserve some property of $G$. Examples of sparsifications include but are not limited to spanning trees, Steiner trees,…
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…
Spectral sparsification is a technique that is used to reduce the number of non-zero entries in a positive semidefinite matrix with little changes to its spectrum. In particular, the main application of spectral sparsification is to…
Flow sparsification is a classic graph compression technique which, given a capacitated graph $G$ on $k$ terminals, aims to construct another capacitated graph $H$, called a flow sparsifier, that preserves, either exactly or approximately,…
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…
We introduce a new notion of graph sparsificaiton based on spectral similarity of graph Laplacians: spectral sparsification requires that the Laplacian quadratic form of the sparsifier approximate that of the original. This is equivalent to…
The Vertex Separator Problem (VSP) on a graph is the problem of finding the smallest collection of vertices whose removal separates the graph into two disjoint subsets of roughly equal size. Recently, Hager and Hungerford [1] developed a…
Recently there has been much interest in "sparsifying" sums of rank one matrices: modifying the coefficients such that only a few are nonzero, while approximately preserving the matrix that results from the sum. Results of this sort have…
In a hypergraph on $n$ vertices where $D$ is the maximum size of a hyperedge, there is a weighted hypergraph spectral $\varepsilon$-sparsifier with at most $O(\varepsilon^{-2} \log(D) \cdot n \log n)$ hyperedges. This improves over the…
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,…
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 \[…
The notion of vertex sparsification is introduced in \cite{M}, where it was shown that for any graph $G = (V, E)$ and a subset of $k$ terminals $K \subset V$, there is a polynomial time algorithm to construct a graph $H = (K, E_H)$ on just…
