Hodge Decompositions for Weighted Hypergraphs
Abstract
Weighted hypergraphs are generalizations of weighted simplicial complexes. In recent years, weighted Laplacians of weighted simplicial complexes have been studied. In 2016, as a generalization of the homology of simplicial complexes, the embedded homology of hypergraphs was constructed. In this paper, we generalize the weighted Laplacians of weighted simplicial complexes to weighted hypergraphs. We study the relations between the weighted Laplacians and the weighted embedded homology of weighted hypergraphs. We generalize the Hodge decompositions of weighted simplicial complexes to weighted hypergraphs. Moreover, as a complement for the Hodge decompositions, we give some results for the nonzero eigenvalues of the weighted Laplacians of weighted hypergraphs.
