The Network Nullspace Property for Compressed Sensing of Big Data over Networks

We present a novel condition, which we term the net- work nullspace property, which ensures accurate recovery of graph signals representing massive network-structured datasets from few signal values. The network nullspace property couples the cluster structure of the underlying network-structure with the geometry of the sampling set. Our results can be used to design efficient sampling strategies based on the network topology

Multigrid for propagators of staggered fermions in four-dimensional SU(2)SU(2) gauge fields

Multigrid (MG) methods for the computation of propagators of staggered fermions in non-Abelian gauge fields are discussed. MG could work in principle in arbitrarily disordered systems. The practical variational MG methods tested so far with a ``Laplacian choice'' for the restriction operator are not competitive with the conjugate gradient algorithm on lattices up to $18^4$. Numerical results are presented for propagators in $SU(2)$ gauge fields.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures (one LaTeX-figure, two figures appended as encapsulated ps files); Contribution to LATTICE '92, requires espcrc2.st

Some Comments on Multigrid Methods for Computing Propagators

I make three conceptual points regarding multigrid methods for computing propagators in lattice gauge theory: 1) The class of operators handled by the algorithm must be stable under coarsening. 2) Problems related by symmetry should have solution methods related by symmetry. 3) It is crucial to distinguish the vector space $V$ from its dual space $V^*$. All the existing algorithms violate one or more of these principles.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX plus subeqnarray.sty (included at end), NYU-TH-93/07/0

Critical Slowing-Down in SU(2)SU(2) Landau Gauge-Fixing Algorithms

We study the problem of critical slowing-down for gauge-fixing algorithms (Landau gauge) in $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory on a $2$-dimensional lattice. We consider five such algorithms, and lattice sizes ranging from $8^{2}$ to $36^{2}$ (up to $64^2$ in the case of Fourier acceleration). We measure four different observables and we find that for each given algorithm they all have the same relaxation time within error bars. We obtain that: the so-called {\em Los Alamos} method has dynamic critical exponent $z \approx 2$, the {\em overrelaxation} method and the {\em stochastic overrelaxation} method have $z \approx 1$, the so-called {\em Cornell} method has $z$ slightly smaller than $1$ and the {\em Fourier acceleration} method completely eliminates critical slowing-down. A detailed discussion and analysis of the tuning of these algorithms is also presented.Comment: 40 pages (including 10 figures). A few modifications, incorporating referee's suggestions, without the length reduction required for publicatio

Topological Updating Schemes: A Case Study In 3-d U(1)

We study a topological updating scheme in three dimensional U(1) gauge theory. Some expectations for four dimensional SU(N) gauge theories are discussed.Comment: 3 pages as PostScript file. To appear in the proceedings of Lattice'94, held in Bielefeld, German

First Lattice Study of Ghost Propagators in SU(2) and SU(3) Gauge Theories

We present a numerical study of the ghost propagators in Landau gauge for SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theories at $\beta$=2.7 and $\beta$=6.0, respectively. Analyzing different lattice sizes up to $32^4$, we find small finite size effects. Down to the smallest available momenta, we observe no evidence for dipole behaviour of the ghost propagators.Comment: 7 pages, uuencoded compressed latex file, 2 figures include
