Question
In the derivation of the spectral graph partitioning algorithm, we relax a combinatorial optimization
problem to a continuous optimization problem. This relaxation has the following effects.
The combinatorial problem requires an ex-
act bisection of the graph, but the continuous al-
gorithm can produce (after rounding) partitions
that aren't perfectly balanced
The combinatorial problem cannot be modi-
fied to accommodate vertices that have different
masses, whereas the continuous problem can
The combinatorial problem requires finding
eigenvectors, whereas the continuous problem re-
quires only matrix multiplication
The combinatorial problem is NP-hard, but
the continuous problem can be solved in polyno-
mial time
