Course roadmap This course has 5 parts Basic structures: Expander Decompositions and Hierarchies Expander decompositions and hierarchies are one of the most powerful tools in designing graph algorithms in the last two decades. There are many variants of them in the literature, and it can be hard to navigate. Here, we present a unified treatment and their immediate applications. With the right notations, there are just three main objects: Expander Decomposition, Separator-Expanding Hierarchy, and Boundary-Separator-Expanding Hierarchy. The algorithms for showing their existence are very…
