Abstract
For "large" class $\mathcal{C}$ of continuous probability density functions (p.d.f.), we demonstrate that for every $w\in\mathcal{C}$ there is mixture of discrete Binomial distributions (MDBD) with $T\geq N\sqrt{\phi_{w}/\delta}$ distinct Binomial distributions $B(\cdot,N)$ that $\delta$-approximates a \emph{discretized} p.d.f. $\hat{w}(i/N)\triangleq w(i/N)/[\sum_{\ell=0}^{N}w(\ell/N)]$ for all $i\in[3:N-3]$, where $\phi_{w}\geq\max_{x\in[0,1]}|w(x)|$. Also, we give two efficient parallel algorithms to find such MDBD. Moreover, we propose a sequential algorithm that on input MDBD with $N=2^k$ for $k\in\mathbb{N}_{+}$ that induces a discretized p.d.f. $\beta$, $B=D-M$ that is either Laplacian or SDDM matrix and parameter $\epsilon\in(0,1)$, outputs in $\hat{O}(\epsilon^{-2}m + \epsilon^{-4}nT)$ time a spectral sparsifier $D-\hat{M}_{N} \approx_{\epsilon} D-D\sum_{i=0}^{N}\beta_{i}(D^{-1} M)^i$ of a matrix-polynomial, where $\hat{O}(\cdot)$ notation hides $\mathrm{poly}(\log n,\log N)$ factors. This improves the Cheng et al.'s\cite{CCLPT15} algorithm whose run time is $\hat{O}(\epsilon^{-2} m N^2 + NT)$. Furthermore, our algorithm is parallelizable and runs in work $\hat{O}(\epsilon^{-2}m + \epsilon^{-4}nT)$ and depth $O(\log N\cdot\mathrm{poly}(\log n)+\log T)$. Our main algorithmic contribution is to propose the first efficient parallel algorithm that on input continuous p.d.f. $w\in\mathcal{C}$, matrix $B=D-M$ as above, outputs a spectral sparsifier of matrix-polynomial whose coefficients approximate component-wise the discretized p.d.f. $\hat{w}$. Our results yield the first efficient and parallel algorithm that runs in nearly linear work and poly-logarithmic depth and analyzes the long term behaviour of Markov chains in non-trivial settings. In addition, we strengthen the Spielman and Peng's\cite{PS14} parallel SDD solver.
