An undirected graph looks like this: [1 -1 \ -1 1]. A directed graph looks like this: [1 0 \ -1 0]. Even worse, the symmetrization of a directed graph can look like this: [1 -1/2 \ -1/2 0]. I’ll discuss why the third matrix is bad, and a surprising reduction (that forms a key component of the exciting line of work on the “directed Laplacian paradigm”) that allows us to avoid it.
