Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical We provide new algorithms and conditional hardness for the problem of estimating effective resistances in n-node m-edge undirected, expander graphs. Both our algorithms and lower bounds develop more general tools for handling related problems for more general (not-necessarily Laplacian) matrices.

Pseudocode Yes Because the ~δi,j queries appearing in effective resistance computations are 2-sparse and p2, DMqnumerically sparse for all SDD matrices M, taking M LG in Theorem 7 immediately implies Theorem 2 and Theorem 3 (see supplementary material for detailed discussion and pseudocode.)
