Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Furthermore we provide numerical experiments that illustrate the results and explore the optimality of scaling in dimension two. ... In Section 8 we present numerical experiments which illustrate our results; we also investigate the issues related to Remark 2.

Pseudocode No The paper describes algorithms and methods but does not present them in structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper uses an existing algorithm: "We use the steepest descent algorithm of Bresson et al. (2012) to solve the graph-based Cheeger cut problem on these graphs." There is no explicit statement about releasing the authors' own implementation code for the work described in this paper.
Open Datasets No We always take ρ(x) := 1/vol(D) as the constant density. The data points Xn := {x1, . . . , xn} therefore represent i.i.d. samples from the uniform distribution. ... Each figure depicts a computed optimal partition Yn (in black) of one random realization of the random geometric graph Gn = (Xn, Wn) for each k {0, 1, . . . , 7}, where n = 1000 2k, ε = n 0.3 and the domain considered is D1.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes generating i.i.d. samples from a uniform distribution for its numerical experiments, but it does not specify any training/test/validation dataset splits, as it is not a traditional machine learning training scenario.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware (CPU, GPU models, memory, etc.) used for running the numerical experiments.
Software Dependencies No We conduct all of our experiments using the Cheeger cut algorithm of Bresson et al. (2012); we omit the ratio cut for the sake of brevity and to avoid redundancy. ... We use the steepest descent algorithm of Bresson et al. (2012) to solve the graph-based Cheeger cut problem on these graphs.
Experiment Setup Yes We initialize it with the ground-truth partition Y i n := Ai Xn in an attempt to avoid sub-optimal solutions and to bias the algorithm towards the correct continuum cut. We terminate the algorithm once three consecutive iterates show 0% change in the corresponding partition of the graph.
