Researchers have established a theoretical link between two primary methods for hierarchical clustering: the density cluster tree and the spectral hierarchy. They demonstrated that under specific conditions, the spectral hierarchy, derived from diffusion distances and a Laplacian operator, can be topologically equivalent to the density cluster tree. This equivalence holds when diffusion distances are appropriately scaled, and it extends to k-NN graph implementations, offering a method to reduce spectral graph constructions to density-level-set topology.
