Is Nearly-linear the same in Theory and Practice? A Case Study with a Combinatorial Laplacian Solver
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
The algorithm exploits that a Laplacian matrix corresponds to a graph; solving Laplacian linear systems amounts to finding an electrical flow in this graph with the help of cycles induced by a spanning ...
They confirm a nearly-linear running time, but for reasonable inputs the constant factors make the solver much slower than methods with higher asymptotic complexity. ...
Hence, our initial question in the paper title can be answered with "yes" and "no" at the same time: The running time is nearly linear, but the constant factors prevent usefulness in practice. ...
