In this paper we consider higher isoperimetric numbers of a (finite directed) graph. In this regard we focus on the $n$th mean isoperimetric constant of a directed graph as the minimum of the mean outgoing normalized flows from a given set of $n$ disjoint subsets of the vertex set of the graph. We show that the second mean isoperimetric constant in this general setting, coincides with (the mean version of) the classical Cheeger constant of the graph, while for the rest of the spectrum we show that there is a fundamental difference between the $n$th isoperimetric constant and the number obtained by taking the minimum over all $n$-partitions. In this direction, we show that our definition is the correct one in the sense that it satisfies a Federer-Fleming-type theorem, and we also define and present examples for the concept of a supergeometric graph as a graph whose mean isoperimetric constants are attained on partitions at all levels. Moreover, considering the ${bf NP}$-completeness of the isoperimetric problem on graphs, we address ourselves to the approximation problem where we prove general spectral inequalities that give rise to a general Cheeger-type inequality as well. On the other hand, we also consider some algorithmic aspects of the problem where we show connections to orthogonal representations of graphs and following J.~Malik and J.~Shi ($2000$) we study the close relationships to the well-known $k$-means algorithm and normalized cuts method.
For a simple, undirected and connected graph $G$, $D_{alpha}(G) = alpha Tr(G) + (1-alpha) D(G)$ is called the $alpha$-distance matrix of $G$, where $alphain [0,1]$, $D(G)$ is the distance matrix of $G$, and $Tr(G)$ is the vertex transmission diagonal
In this paper, based on the contributions of Tucker (1983) and Seb{H{o}} (1992), we generalize the concept of a sequential coloring of a graph to a framework in which the algorithm may use a coloring rule-base obtained from suitable forcing structure
We study the spectrum of the normalized Laplace operator of a connected graph $Gamma$. As is well known, the smallest nontrivial eigenvalue measures how difficult it is to decompose $Gamma$ into two large pieces, whereas the largest eigenvalue contro
Let $G$ be a simple, connected graph, $mathcal{D}(G)$ be the distance matrix of $G$, and $Tr(G)$ be the diagonal matrix of vertex transmissions of $G$. The distance Laplacian matrix and distance signless Laplacian matrix of $G$ are defined by $mathca
This note resolves an open problem asked by Bezrukov in the open problem session of IWOCA 2014. It shows an equivalence between regular graphs and graphs for which a sequence of invariants presents some symmetric property. We extend this result to a few other sequences.
