To characterize the location (mean, median) of a set of graphs, one needs a notion of centrality that is adapted to metric spaces, since graph sets are not Euclidean spaces. A standard approach is to consider the Frechet mean. In this work,…

Exact eigendecomposition of large matrices is very expensive, and it is practically impossible to compute exact eigenvalues. Instead, one may set a more modest goal of approaching the empirical distribution of the eigenvalues, recovering…
