Abstract
Providing for local graph partitioning using an evolving set process is disclosed herein. By way of example, a computer processor can be configured to execute local partitioning based on evolving set instructions. The instructions can be employed to transition a set of analyzed vertices of a graph until a segment of the graph with small conductance is identified. A transitioning algorithm can expand or contract the analyzed set of vertices based on characteristics of vertices at a boundary of the analyzed set. Accordingly, as the set of analyzed vertices becomes large, significant processing efficiency is gained by employing the characteristics of boundary vertices to transition the set or determine conductance, rather than all vertices of the analyzed set.
