A deterministic polynomial-time algorithm for the Bilu--Linial signing problem on bipartite graphs
Abstract
We give a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm for the Bilu--Linial signing problem on bipartite graphs. For every finite simple bipartite graph of maximum degree at most an integer Δ≥3, the algorithm assigns signs to its edges so that the signed adjacency matrix has operator norm strictly less than 2√(Δ−1). Our algorithm builds on the randomized recursive repair framework of Jadbabaie, Saberi, and Sra~\cite{JSS26}, with deterministic rules for sign selection and vertex deletion.
