We show variants of spectral sparsification routines can preserve the total spanning tree counts of graphs, which by Kirchhoffs matrix-tree theorem, is equivalent to determinant of a graph Laplacian minor, or equivalently, of any SDDM matrix. Our analyses utilizes this combinatorial connection to bridge between statistical leverage scores / effective resistances and the analysis of random graphs by [Janson, Combinatorics, Probability and Computing `94]. This leads to a routine that in quadratic time, sparsifies a graph down to about $n^{1.5}$ edges in ways that preserve both the determinant and the distribution of spanning trees (provided the sparsified graph is viewed as a random object). Extending this algorithm to work with Schur complements and approximate Choleksy factorizations leads to algorithms for counting and sampling spanning trees which are nearly optimal for dense graphs. We give an algorithm that computes a $(1 pm delta)$ approximation to the determinant of any SDDM matrix with constant probability in about $n^2 delta^{-2}$ time. This is the first routine for graphs that outperforms general-purpose routines for computing determinants of arbitrary matrices. We also give an algorithm that generates in about $n^2 delta^{-2}$ time a spanning tree of a weighted undirected graph from a distribution with total variation distance of $delta$ from the $w$-uniform distribution .

We present an algorithm that, with high probability, generates a random spanning tree from an edge-weighted undirected graph in $tilde{O}(n^{4/3}m^{1/2}+n^{2})$ time (The $tilde{O}(cdot)$ notation hides $operatorname{polylog}(n)$ factors). The tree i s sampled from a distribution where the probability of each tree is proportional to the product of its edge weights. This improves upon the previous best algorithm due to Colbourn et al. that runs in matrix multiplication time, $O(n^omega)$. For the special case of unweighted graphs, this improves upon the best previously known running time of $tilde{O}(min{n^{omega},msqrt{n},m^{4/3}})$ for $m gg n^{5/3}$ (Colbourn et al. 96, Kelner-Madry 09, Madry et al. 15). The effective resistance metric is essential to our algorithm, as in the work of Madry et al., but we eschew determinant-based and random walk-based techniques used by previous algorithms. Instead, our algorithm is based on Gaussian elimination, and the fact that effective resistance is preserved in the graph resulting from eliminating a subset of vertices (called a Schur complement). As part of our algorithm, we show how to compute $epsilon$-approximate effective resistances for a set $S$ of vertex pairs via approximate Schur complements in $tilde{O}(m+(n + |S|)epsilon^{-2})$ time, without using the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma which requires $tilde{O}( min{(m + |S|)epsilon^{-2}, m+nepsilon^{-4} +|S|epsilon^{-2}})$ time. We combine this approximation procedure with an error correction procedure for handing edges where our estimate isnt sufficiently accurate.

The {sc Directed Maximum Leaf Out-Branching} problem is to find an out-branching (i.e. a rooted oriented spanning tree) in a given digraph with the maximum number of leaves. In this paper, we obtain two combinatorial results on the number of leaves i n out-branchings. We show that - every strongly connected $n$-vertex digraph $D$ with minimum in-degree at least 3 has an out-branching with at least $(n/4)^{1/3}-1$ leaves; - if a strongly connected digraph $D$ does not contain an out-branching with $k$ leaves, then the pathwidth of its underlying graph UG($D$) is $O(klog k)$. Moreover, if the digraph is acyclic, the pathwidth is at most $4k$. The last result implies that it can be decided in time $2^{O(klog^2 k)}cdot n^{O(1)}$ whether a strongly connected digraph on $n$ vertices has an out-branching with at least $k$ leaves. On acyclic digraphs the running time of our algorithm is $2^{O(klog k)}cdot n^{O(1)}$.
We give a deterministic, nearly logarithmic-space algorithm for mild spectral sparsification of undirected graphs. Given a weighted, undirected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices described by a binary string of length $N$, an integer $kleq log n$, and an erro r parameter $epsilon > 0$, our algorithm runs in space $tilde{O}(klog (Ncdot w_{mathrm{max}}/w_{mathrm{min}}))$ where $w_{mathrm{max}}$ and $w_{mathrm{min}}$ are the maximum and minimum edge weights in $G$, and produces a weighted graph $H$ with $tilde{O}(n^{1+2/k}/epsilon^2)$ edges that spectrally approximates $G$, in the sense of Spielmen and Teng [ST04], up to an error of $epsilon$. Our algorithm is based on a new bounded-independence analysis of Spielman and Srivastavas effective resistance based edge sampling algorithm [SS08] and uses results from recent work on space-bounded Laplacian solvers [MRSV17]. In particular, we demonstrate an inherent tradeoff (via upper and lower bounds) between the amount of (bounded) independence used in the edge sampling algorithm, denoted by $k$ above, and the resulting sparsity that can be achieved.
Edge connectivity of a graph is one of the most fundamental graph-theoretic concepts. The celebrated tree packing theorem of Tutte and Nash-Williams from 1961 states that every $k$-edge connected graph $G$ contains a collection $cal{T}$ of $lfloor k/ 2 rfloor$ edge-disjoint spanning trees, that we refer to as a tree packing; the diameter of the tree packing $cal{T}$ is the largest diameter of any tree in $cal{T}$. A desirable property of a tree packing, that is both sufficient and necessary for leveraging the high connectivity of a graph in distributed communication, is that its diameter is low. Yet, despite extensive research in this area, it is still unclear how to compute a tree packing, whose diameter is sublinear in $|V(G)|$, in a low-diameter graph $G$, or alternatively how to show that such a packing does not exist. In this paper we provide first non-trivial upper and lower bounds on the diameter of tree packing. First, we show that, for every $k$-edge connected $n$-vertex graph $G$ of diameter $D$, there is a tree packing $cal{T}$ of size $Omega(k)$, diameter $O((101klog n)^D)$, that causes edge-congestion at most $2$. Second, we show that for every $k$-edge connected $n$-vertex graph $G$ of diameter $D$, the diameter of $G[p]$ is $O(k^{D(D+1)/2})$ with high probability, where $G[p]$ is obtained by sampling each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p=Theta(log n/k)$. This provides a packing of $Omega(k/log n)$ edge-disjoint trees of diameter at most $O(k^{(D(D+1)/2)})$ each. We then prove that these two results are nearly tight. Lastly, we show that if every pair of vertices in a graph has $k$ edge-disjoint paths of length at most $D$ connecting them, then there is a tree packing of size $k$, diameter $O(Dlog n)$, causing edge-congestion $O(log n)$. We also provide several applications of low-diameter tree packing in distributed computation.
The problem of sparsifying a graph or a hypergraph while approximately preserving its cut structure has been extensively studied and has many applications. In a seminal work, Benczur and Karger (1996) showed that given any $n$-vertex undirected weigh ted graph $G$ and a parameter $varepsilon in (0,1)$, there is a near-linear time algorithm that outputs a weighted subgraph $G$ of $G$ of size $tilde{O}(n/varepsilon^2)$ such that the weight of every cut in $G$ is preserved to within a $(1 pm varepsilon)$-factor in $G$. The graph $G$ is referred to as a {em $(1 pm varepsilon)$-approximate cut sparsifier} of $G$. Subsequent recent work has obtained a similar result for the more general problem of hypergraph cut sparsifiers. However, all known sparsification algorithms require $Omega(n + m)$ time where $n$ denotes the number of vertices and $m$ denotes the number of hyperedges in the hypergraph. Since $m$ can be exponentially large in $n$, a natural question is if it is possible to create a hypergraph cut sparsifier in time polynomial in $n$, {em independent of the number of edges}. We resolve this question in the affirmative, giving the first sublinear time algorithm for this problem, given appropriate query access to the hypergraph.
