Compute Forward Spectral Graph Wavelet Transform

Description

forward_sgwt computes the forward Spectral Graph Wavelet Transform (SGWT) for a given graph signal f.

Usage

forward_sgwt(
  f,
  evalues,
  evectors,
  b = 2,
  filter_func = zetav,
  filter_params = list()
)

Arguments

f	Numeric vector representing the graph signal to analyze.
evalues	Numeric vector of eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix.
evectors	Matrix of eigenvectors of the Laplacian matrix.
b	Numeric scalar that control the number of scales in the SGWT. It must be greater than 1.
filter_func	Function used to compute the filter values. By default, it uses the zetav function but other frame filters can be pass.
filter_params	List of additional parameters required by filter_func. Default is an empty list.

Details

The transform is constructed based on the frame defined by the tight_frame function, without the need for its explicit calculation. Other filters can be passed as parameters. The SGWT provides a multi-scale analysis of graph signals.

Given a graph signal f of length N, forward_sgwt computes the wavelet coefficients using SGWT.

The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian, are denoted as \Lambda and U respectively. The parameter b controls the number of scales, and \lambda_{\text{max}} is the largest eigenvalue.

For each scale j = 0, 1, \ldots, J, where

J = \left\lfloor \frac{\log(\lambda_{\text{max}})}{\log(b)} \right\rfloor + 2

the wavelet coefficients are computed as:

\mathbf{w}_j = U \left( g_j \odot (U^T f) \right)

where

g_j(\lambda) = \sqrt{\psi_j(\lambda)}

and \odot denotes element-wise multiplication.

The final result is a concatenated vector of these coefficients for all scales.

Value

wc A concatenated vector of wavelet coefficients.

Note

forward_sgwt can be adapted for other filters by passing a different filter function to the filter_func parameter.

The computation of k_{\text{max}} using \lambda_{\text{max}} and b applies primarily to the default zetav filter. It can be overridden by providing it in the filter_params list for other filters.
