contents Given the damping factor $α$ and precision tolerance $ε$, \citet{andersen2006local} introduced Approximate Personalized PageRank (APPR), the \textit{de facto local method} for approximating the PPR vector, with runtime bounded by $Θ(1/(αε))$ independent of the graph size. Recently, \citet{fountoulakis2022open} asked whether faster local algorithms could be developed using $\tilde{O}(1/(\sqrtαε))$ operations. By noticing that APPR is a local variant of Gauss-Seidel, this paper explores the question of \textit{whether standard iterative solvers can be effectively localized}. We propose to use the \textit{locally evolving set process}, a novel framework to characterize the algorithm locality, and demonstrate that many standard solvers can be effectively localized. Let $\overline{\operatorname{vol}}{ (S_t)}$ and $\overlineγ_{t}$ be the running average of volume and the residual ratio of active nodes $\textstyle S_{t}$ during the process. We show $\overline{\operatorname{vol}}{ (S_t)}/\overlineγ_{t} \leq 1/ε$ and prove APPR admits a new runtime bound $\tilde{O}(\overline{\operatorname{vol}}(S_t)/(α\overlineγ_{t}))$ mirroring the actual performance. Furthermore, when the geometric mean of residual reduction is $Θ(\sqrtα)$, then there exists $c \in (0,2)$ such that the local Chebyshev method has runtime $\tilde{O}(\overline{\operatorname{vol}}(S_{t})/(\sqrtα(2-c)))$ without the monotonicity assumption. Numerical results confirm the efficiency of this novel framework and show up to a hundredfold speedup over corresponding standard solvers on real-world graphs.
