Abstract

We give an improved local partitioning algorithm using heat kernel pagerank, a modified version of PageRank. For a subset S with Cheeger ratio (or conductance) h , we show that there are at least a quarter of the vertices in S that can serve as seeds for heat kernel pagerank which lead to local cuts with Cheeger ratio at most $O(\sqrt{h})$, improving the previously bound by a factor of $\sqrt{log|S|}$.
