改进的Cheeger不等式及基于点扩展和扩展剖面的局部图划分分析

Improved Cheeger's Inequality and Analysis of Local Graph Partitioning using Vertex Expansion and Expansion Profile

Tsz Chiu Kwok, Lap Chi Lau, Yin Tat Lee

摘要:

我们证明了Cheeger不等式的两个推广。第一个推广将第二特征值与图G的边扩张和顶点扩张联系起来,即$λ_2 = Ω(ϕ^V(G) ϕ(G))$,其中$ϕ^V(G)$表示G的鲁棒顶点扩张,$ϕ(G)$表示G的边扩张。第二个推广将第二特征值与G的边展开和展开轮廓联系起来,对于所有的$k \ge 2$,$λ_2 = Ω(ϕ_k(G) ϕ(G) / k)$,其中$ϕ_k(G)$表示G的k向展开。这些表明,当$ϕ^V(G)$较大(例如,种植随机实例)或$ϕ_k(G)$较大(具有很少不相交非扩展集的实例)时,谱划分算法具有更好的性能保证。这两个边界都紧到一个常数因子。我们的方法基于分析拉普拉斯系统解的方法,这使我们能够将结果扩展到局部图划分算法。特别是,我们表明,我们的方法可以用来分析个人的pagerank向量,并给出一个局部图分区算法的小集扩展问题的性能保证类似的广义Cheeger不等式。我们还提出了一个谱的方法来证明类似的结果截断随机游走算法。这些结果表明,局部图划分算法的性能几乎匹配的谱划分算法,与额外的优势,他们适用于小集扩展问题,他们的运行时间可以是次线性的。我们的技术提供了共同的方法来分析谱分割算法和局部图分割算法。

英文摘要:

We prove two generalizations of the Cheeger's inequality. The first generalization relates the second eigenvalue to the edge expansion and the vertex expansion of the graph G, $λ_2 = Ω(ϕ^V(G) ϕ(G))$, where $ϕ^V(G)$ denotes the robust vertex expansion of G and $ϕ(G)$ denotes the edge expansion of G. The second generalization relates the second eigenvalue to the edge expansion and the expansion profile of G, for all $k \ge 2$, $λ_2 = Ω(ϕ_k(G) ϕ(G) / k)$, where $ϕ_k(G)$ denotes the k-way expansion of G. These show that the spectral partitioning algorithm has better performance guarantees when $ϕ^V(G)$ is large (e.g. planted random instances) or $ϕ_k(G)$ is large (instances with few disjoint non-expanding sets). Both bounds are tight up to a constant factor. Our approach is based on a method to analyze solutions of Laplacian systems, and this allows us to extend the results to local graph partitioning algorithms. In particular, we show that our approach can be used to analyze personal pagerank vectors, and to give a local graph partitioning algorithm for the small-set expansion problem with performance guarantees similar to the generalizations of Cheeger's inequality. We also present a spectral approach to prove similar results for the truncated random walk algorithm. These show that local graph partitioning algorithms almost match the performance of the spectral partitioning algorithm, with the additional advantages that they apply to the small-set expansion problem and their running time could be sublinear. Our techniques provide common approaches to analyze the spectral partitioning algorithm and local graph partitioning algorithms.
