Invertibility of graph translation and support of Laplacian Fiedler vectors
نویسندگان
چکیده
The graph Laplacian operator is widely studied in spectral graph theory largely due to its importance in modern data analysis. Recently, the Fourier transform and other time-frequency operators have been defined on graphs using Laplacian eigenvalues and eigenvectors. We extend these results and prove that the translation operator to the i’th node is invertible if and only if all eigenvectors are nonzero on the i’th node. Because of this dependency on the support of eigenvectors we study the characteristic set of Laplacian eigenvectors. We prove that the Fiedler vector of a planar graph cannot vanish on large neighborhoods and then explicitly construct a family of non-planar graphs that do exhibit this property.

A note on Fiedler vectors interpreted as graph realizations
The second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplace matrix of a graph and its eigenvectors, also known as Fiedler vectors in spectral graph partitioning, carry significant structural information regarding the connectivity of the graph. Using semidefinite programming duality we offer a geometric interpretation of this eigenspace as optimal solution to a graph realization problem. A corresponding inter...
متن کاملFiedler Vectors and Elongation of Graphs: A Threshold Phenomenon on a Particular Class of Trees
Let G be a graph. Its laplacian matrix L(G) is positive and we consider eigenvectors of its first non-null eigenvalue that are called Fiedler vector. They have been intensively used in spectral partitioning problems due to their good empirical properties. More recently Fiedler vectors have been also popularized in the computer graphics community to describe elongation of shapes. In more technic...
متن کاملLaplacian Energy of a Fuzzy Graph
A concept related to the spectrum of a graph is that of energy. The energy E(G) of a graph G is equal to the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of G . The Laplacian energy of a graph G is equal to the sum of distances of the Laplacian eigenvalues of G and the average degree d(G) of G. In this paper we introduce the concept of Laplacian energy of fuzzy graphs. ...
متن کاملOn net-Laplacian Energy of Signed Graphs
A signed graph is a graph where the edges are assigned either positive ornegative signs. Net degree of a signed graph is the dierence between the number ofpositive and negative edges incident with a vertex. It is said to be net-regular if all itsvertices have the same net-degree. Laplacian energy of a signed graph is defined asε(L(Σ)) =|γ_1-(2m)/n|+...+|γ_n-(2m)/n| where γ_1,...,γ_n are the ei...
متن کاملFaster Fiedler Vector Computation for Laplacians of Well - Shaped Meshes
We present a faster method for finding the Fiedler vector of the Laplacian of a mesh. This problem is the main computational cost of spectral partitioning, a technique for partitioning a graph into pieces of roughly equal size with few crossing edges, which has applications to load balancing on parallel machines. Our experiments show an improvement of 15 to 40 percent in the speed of the standa...
