bipartite d regular expender explicit construction
I am looking for an explicit (and simple) construction of a d regular bi bipartite graph which is an expander. I searched the web and didn't find any sufficient answer.
The only explicit graph I did ...

Motivation behind the definition of order-$k$ (edge) expansion?
I'm trying to understand the motivation behind the idea of order-$k$ (edge) expansion for partitions of a graph, defined below:
For simplicity, let's focus on $d$-regular graphs. The definitions I'm ...

Random unbalanced bipartite graphs are good small set expanders
My question is about small set expansion properties of random unbalanced bipartite graphs.
Fix a positive $\delta<1/2$, and a positive integers $n,m,d$. Let us call a bipartite graph $\mathcal{G}$...

Expander Graph - Is the following graph family an expander graph?
Consider the family of graphs of degree $6$ with vertex set $V_n=(a, b, c)$ for all $0\leq a, b, c \leq n-1$ with $(a,b,c)$ being connected to $(a-1, b, c),(a+1, b,c), (a, b-1, c), (a, b+1, c), (a,b,...

Amplifying the correctness of $\mathsf{RP}$ algorithms using expander graphs
A graph $G = (V, E)$ is called an $(n, d, \varepsilon)$-expander if the graph has $n$ vertices, maximum degree $d$, and satisfies the following expansion property:
for every subset $W\subset V$ such ...

Random Graph is a good expander
If a (n,d) random graph is a n-vertex graph defined as :
Choose d random permutations $\pi_1 \ldots \pi_d $, from [n] to [n]. Take edge (u,v) if $v = \pi_i(u)$ for some i. I am trying to prove that, ...

Relationship between graph expansion and conductance
I'm quite confused about the exact relationship between the expansion of a graph and its conductance. My first question is:
Could someone point me to a reference that discusses both of these notions? ...

Electrical resistance of expander graphs
Let $G$ be a $d$-regular expander graph. What is the electrical resistance of $G$? Is it a constant independent of the number of nodes $n$ once $d$ is large enough? If not, can we give matching upper ...

Application of Expander Codes
I need to give a talk about expander codes at university (I'm a student of computer science). Since they have been introduced to show a family of codes looking good when thinking of the Shannon ...
