Scattering and sparse partitions, and their applications

A Filtser - ACM Transactions on Algorithms, 2024 - dl.acm.org
A partition of a weighted graph is-sparse if every cluster has diameter at most, and every ball
of radius intersects at most clusters. Similarly, is-scattering if instead for balls, we require that …
