Distance-regular graphs
This is a survey of distance-regular graphs. We present an introduction to
distance-regular graphs for the reader who is unfamiliar with the subject, and
then give an overview of some developments in the area of distance-regular
graphs since the monograph 'BCN' [Brouwer, A.E., Cohen, A.M., Neumaier, A.,
Distance-Regular Graphs, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1989] was written.Comment: 156 page
Towards Resistance Sparsifiers
We study resistance sparsification of graphs, in which the goal is to find a
sparse subgraph (with reweighted edges) that approximately preserves the
effective resistances between every pair of nodes. We show that every dense
regular expander admits a -resistance sparsifier of size , and conjecture this bound holds for all graphs on nodes. In
comparison, spectral sparsification is a strictly stronger notion and requires
edges even on the complete graph.
Our approach leads to the following structural question on graphs: Does every
dense regular expander contain a sparse regular expander as a subgraph? Our
main technical contribution, which may of independent interest, is a positive
answer to this question in a certain setting of parameters. Combining this with
a recent result of von Luxburg, Radl, and Hein~(JMLR, 2014) leads to the
aforementioned resistance sparsifiers
A Multiscale Pyramid Transform for Graph Signals
Multiscale transforms designed to process analog and discrete-time signals
and images cannot be directly applied to analyze high-dimensional data residing
on the vertices of a weighted graph, as they do not capture the intrinsic
geometric structure of the underlying graph data domain. In this paper, we
adapt the Laplacian pyramid transform for signals on Euclidean domains so that
it can be used to analyze high-dimensional data residing on the vertices of a
weighted graph. Our approach is to study existing methods and develop new
methods for the four fundamental operations of graph downsampling, graph
reduction, and filtering and interpolation of signals on graphs. Equipped with
appropriate notions of these operations, we leverage the basic multiscale
constructs and intuitions from classical signal processing to generate a
transform that yields both a multiresolution of graphs and an associated
multiresolution of a graph signal on the underlying sequence of graphs.Comment: 16 pages, 13 figure
