A Cheeger Inequality for Size-Specific Conductance
share
The μ-conductance measure proposed by Lovasz and Simonovits is a size-specific conductance score that identifies the set with smallest conductance while disregarding those sets with volume smaller than a μ fraction of the whole graph. Using μ-conductance enables us to study in new ways. In this manuscript we propose a modified spectral cut that is a natural relaxation of the integer program of μ-conductance and show the optimum of this program has a two-sided Cheeger inequality with μ-conductance.
