Conjecture on the largest Fiedler-vector entry in the stochastic block model
Conjecture on the largest Fiedler-vector entry in the stochastic block model
Let the stochastic block model have vertices, let denote its Fiedler vector, and let be the corresponding indicator vector. The infinity norm is
Largest-entry conjecture. The largest entry of satisfies
This conjecture concerns the extremal behavior of the Fiedler vector and quantifies the deviation of its most extreme entries from the normalized community-indicator vector. The surrounding discussion motivates it using the higher classification accuracy observed for vertices with extreme-magnitude Fiedler-vector entries; its resolution is not specified in the source.
