The classical Cheeger’s inequality relates the edge conductance of a graph and the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix. Recently, Olesker-Taylor and Zanetti discovered a Cheeger-type inequality connecting the vertex expansion of a graph and the maximum reweighted second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix.
