Scattering and sparse partitions, and their applications

A Filtser - ACM Transactions on Algorithms, 2024 - dl.acm.org
A partition of a weighted graph is-sparse if every cluster has diameter at most, and every ball
of radius intersects at most clusters. Similarly, is-scattering if instead for balls, we require that …

We study vertex sparsification for distances, in the setting of planar graphs with distortion:
Given a planar graph G (with edge weights) and a subset of k terminal vertices, the goal is to …

A Filtser - arxiv preprint arxiv:2001.04447, 2020 - arxiv.org
A partition $\mathcal {P} $ of a weighted graph $ G $ is $(\sigma,\tau,\Delta) $-sparse if every
cluster has diameter at most $\Delta $, and every ball of radius $\Delta/\sigma $ intersects at …

Vertex sparsification for edge connectivity

P Chalermsook, S Das, Y Kook, B Laekhanukit… - Proceedings of the 2021 …, 2021 - SIAM
Graph compression or sparsification is a basic information-theoretic and computational
question. A major open problem in this research area is whether (1+∊)-approximate cut …

Spectral subspace sparsification

H Li, A Schild - 2018 IEEE 59th Annual Symposium on …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
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 …

Refined vertex sparsifiers of planar graphs

R Krauthgamer, HI Rika - SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2020 - SIAM
We study the following version of cut sparsification. Given a large edge-weighted network G
with k terminal vertices, compress it into a smaller network H with the same terminals, such …
