Spectrally Robust Graph Isomorphism

Authors: Alexandra Kolla, Ioannis Koutis, Vivek Madan, and Ali Kemal Sinop

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 107, 45th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2018)


Abstract
We initiate the study of spectral generalizations of the graph isomorphism problem. b) The Spectral Graph Dominance (SGD) problem: On input of two graphs G and H does there exist a permutation pi such that G preceq pi(H)? c) The Spectrally Robust Graph Isomorphism (kappa-SRGI) problem: On input of two graphs G and H, find the smallest number kappa over all permutations pi such that pi(H) preceq G preceq kappa c pi(H) for some c. SRGI is a natural formulation of the network alignment problem that has various applications, most notably in computational biology. G preceq c H means that for all vectors x we have x^T L_G x <= c x^T L_H x, where L_G is the Laplacian G. We prove NP-hardness for SGD. We also present a kappa^3-approximation algorithm for SRGI for the case when both G and H are bounded-degree trees. The algorithm runs in polynomial time when kappa is a constant.

On the Expansion of Group-Based Lifts

Authors: Naman Agarwal, Karthekeyan Chandrasekaran, Alexandra Kolla, and Vivek Madan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 81, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2017)


Abstract
A k-lift of an n-vertex base graph G is a graph H on nxk vertices, where each vertex v of G is replaced by k vertices v_1,...,v_k and each edge uv in G is replaced by a matching representing a bijection pi_{uv} so that the edges of H are of the form (u_i,v_{pi_{uv}(i)}). Lifts have been investigated as a means to efficiently construct expanders. In this work, we study lifts obtained from groups and group actions. We derive the spectrum of such lifts via the representation theory principles of the underlying group. Our main results are: 1. A uniform random lift by a cyclic group of order k of any n-vertex d-regular base graph G, with the nontrivial eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of G bounded by lambda in magnitude, has the new nontrivial eigenvalues bounded by lambda+O(sqrt{d}) in magnitude with probability 1-ke^{-Omega(n/d^2)}. The probability bounds as well as the dependency on lambda are almost optimal. As a special case, we obtain that there is a constant c_1 such that for every k<=2^{c_1n/d^2}, there exists a lift H of every Ramanujan graph by a cyclic group of order k such that H is almost Ramanujan (nontrivial eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix at most O(sqrt{d}) in magnitude). We also show how this result leads to a quasi-polynomial time deterministic algorithm to construct almost Ramanujan expanders. 2. There is a constant c_2 such that for every k>=2^{c_2nd}, there does not exist an abelian k-lift H of any n-vertex d-regular base graph such that H is almost Ramanujan. This can be viewed as an analogue of the well-known no-expansion result for constant degree abelian Cayley graphs. Suppose k_0 is the order of the largest abelian group that produces expanding lifts. Our two results highlight lower and upper bounds on k_0 that are tight upto a factor of d^3 in the exponent, thus suggesting a threshold phenomenon.
