We give a O( log n)-approximation algorithm for sparsest cut, edge expansion, balanced separator, and graph conductance problems. This improves the O(log n)-approximation of Leig...

The cut-norm ||A||C of a real matrix A = (aij)iR,jS is the maximum, over all I R, J S of the quantity | iI,jJ aij|. This concept plays a major role in the design of efficient app...
