....guaranteed bounds on the error better than the naive value of 3 4 . Semidefinite programming methods involve a lot of machinery, and in practice, their efficacy is sometimes questioned [14] Efficient Solution Rather than using semidefinite approaches, we will resort to spectral partitioning [27] for computational efficiency reasons. In doing so, we exploit particularly two additional facts that hold in our situation: 1. Rather than being a general graph, we have an instance which is largely a bipartite graph with some noise edges added. 2. Neither side of the bipartite graph is much ....

Spectral partitioning which is based on eigenvectors of Laplace eigenvalues of graphs has proved to be one of the most successful heuristic approaches in the design of partition algorithms [B S, H L, H M P R] in parallel computation [S T, Sim, Wil], in solving sparse linear systems [P S W] clustering [H K, C S Z] and in ranking [J M2, H M P R] Similar kind of applications is based on the properties of the Perron Frobenius eigenvector of a nonnegative matrix. This technique is suitable for the ranking problems. We refer to [M P2] for ....
