Learning a graph with a specific structure is essential for interpretability and identification of the relationships among data. It is well known that structured graph learning from observed samples is an NP-hard combinatorial problem. In…
We introduce a set of novel multiscale basis transforms for signals on graphs that utilize their "dual" domains by incorporating the "natural" distances between graph Laplacian eigenvectors, rather than simply using the eigenvalue ordering.…
Graph convolutional neural networks (GCNNs) have been widely used in graph learning. It has been observed that the smoothness functional on graphs can be defined in terms of the graph Laplacian. This fact points out in the direction of…
Signal processing on graphs is a recent research domain that aims at generalizing classical tools in signal processing, in order to analyze signals evolving on complex domains. Such domains are represented by graphs, for which one can…
A paradigm that was successfully applied in the study of both pure and algorithmic problems in graph theory can be colloquially summarized as stating that "any graph is close to being the disjoint union of expanders". Our goal in this paper…
We introduce a new notion of graph sparsificaiton based on spectral similarity of graph Laplacians: spectral sparsification requires that the Laplacian quadratic form of the sparsifier approximate that of the original. This is equivalent to…
Convolutional layers within graph neural networks operate by aggregating information about local neighbourhood structures; one common way to encode such substructures is through random walks. The distribution of these random walks evolves…

We provide an introductory review of some topics in spectral theory of Laplacians on metric graphs. We focus on three different aspects: the trace formula, the self-adjointness problem and connections between Laplacians on metric graphs and…
The first non-zero Laplacian eigenvalue $\lambda_1$ of a finite graph is bounded below by its minimum Lin--Lu--Yau curvature $\kappa$. This is a discrete analogue of the classical Lichnerowicz Theorem. A graph with $\lambda_1=\kappa$ is…
We propose a method by which to recover an underlying graph from a set of multivariate wave signals that is discretely sampled from a solution of the graph wave equation. Herein, the graph wave equation is defined with the graph Laplacian,…

Active contour models based on partial differential equations have proved successful in image segmentation, yet the study of their geometric formulation on arbitrary geometric graphs is still at an early stage. In this paper, we introduce…
There are two main notions of a Laplacian operator associated with graphs: discrete graph Laplacians and continuous Laplacians on metric graphs (widely known as quantum graphs). Both objects have a venerable history as they are related to…
Eigenvalue interlacing is a versatile technique for deriving results in algebraic combinatorics. In particular, it has been successfully used for proving a number of results about the relation between the (adjacency matrix or Laplacian)…

In this paper we connect classical differential geometry with the concepts from geometric calculus. Moreover, we introduce and analyze a more general Laplacian for multivector-valued functions on manifolds. This allows us to formulate a…
We introduce a new diagrammatic notation for representing the result of (algebraic) effectful computations. Our notation explicitly separates the effects produced during a computation from the possible values returned, this way simplifying…
