Topology-preserving Graph Coarsening: An Elementary Collapse-based Approach
Summary: Proposes Graph Elementary Collapse (GEC): extends elementary collapse from algebraic topology to graph coarsening to guarantee homotopy-equivalence, preserving connectivity, cycles and higher-order topological features. Adds scalable optimizations and shows improved topology-preserving coarsening for GNN prediction tasks versus cut/spectral methods. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
