Spectral Methods for Graph Analysis
Chebyshev polynomials and spectral graph theory for efficient diffusion and filtering without eigendecomposition.
§Key Capabilities
- Chebyshev Graph Filtering: O(Km) filtering where K is polynomial degree
- Graph Diffusion: Heat kernel approximation via Chebyshev expansion
- Spectral Clustering: Efficient k-way partitioning
- Wavelet Transforms: Multi-scale graph analysis
§Integration with Mincut
Spectral methods pair naturally with mincut:
- Mincut identifies partition boundaries
- Chebyshev smooths attention within partitions
- Spectral clustering provides initial segmentation hints
§Mathematical Background
Chebyshev polynomials T_k(x) satisfy:
- T_0(x) = 1
- T_1(x) = x
- T_{k+1}(x) = 2x·T_k(x) - T_{k-1}(x)
This recurrence enables O(K) evaluation of degree-K polynomial filters.
