Abstract: In this work, we propose the construction of two-channel wavelet filter banks for analyzing functions defined on the vertices of any arbitrary finite weighted undirected graph. These graph based functions are referred to as graph-signals as we build a framework in which many concepts from the classical signal processing domain, such as Fourier decomposition, signal filtering and downsampling can be extended to graph domain. Especially, we observe a spectral folding phenomenon in bipartite graphs which occurs during downsampling of these graphs and produces aliasing in graph signals. This property of bipartite graphs, allows us to design critically sampled two-channel filter banks, and we propose quadrature mirror filters (referred to as graph-QMF) for bipartite graph which cancel aliasing and lead to perfect reconstruction. For arbitrary graphs we present a bipartite subgraph decomposition which produces an edge-disjoint collection of bipartite subgraphs. Graph-QMFs are then constructed on each bipartite subgraph leading to “multi-dimensional” separable wavelet filter banks on graphs. Our proposed filter banks are critically sampled and we state necessary and sufficient conditions for orthogonality, aliasing cancellation and perfect reconstruction. The filter banks are realized by Chebychev polynomial approximations.

Fig. 5: Some of the graph-formulation of a 2D image lattice: (a) shows an 8-connected image graph G formed by connecting each pixel with its 8 nearest neighbors. The graph is 4-colorable, and the nodes of different shapes (squares,circles,triangles and diamonds) represent different colors. (b) shows the image-graph Gr by connecting each pixel with its rectangular (NWSE) neighbors only, (c) the image graph Gv with vertical links only (d) the image-graph Gh with horizontal links only. and (e) shows image-graph Gd with each pixel linked to its 4 diagonal neighbors The graphs shown in (b), (c), (d) and (e) are bipartite graphs, with the partitions represented as nodes with different colors and shapes (red-circles vs. blue-squares).

TL;DR: The proposed methodology is based on the intrinsic multi-dimensional/multi-scale structure of the state space of the FSM and enables the analysis and minimization of cost-to-go functions, i.e., functions measuring the expected long-term cost associated with a control strategy, on coarser versions of the original graph.

TL;DR: A sparse sensing method is proposed that selects the sampling probability at each node in the graph in order to guarantee adaptive signal reconstruction and a target steady-state performance and a distributed RLS strategy is derived and is shown to be convergent to its centralized counterpart.
