For the interpolation of graph signals with generalized shifts of a graph basis function (GBF), we introduce the concept of positive definite functions on graphs. This concept merges kernel-based interpolation with spectral theory on graphs and can be regarded as a graph analog of radial basis function interpolation in euclidean spaces or spherical basis functions. We provide several descriptions of positive definite functions on graphs, the most relevant one is a Bochner-type characterization in terms of positive Fourier coefficients. These descriptions allow us to design GBFs and to study GBF interpolation in more detail: we are able to characterize the native spaces of the interpolants, we provide explicit estimates for the interpolation error and obtain bounds for the numerical stability. As a final application, we show how GBF interpolation can be used to get quadrature formulas on graphs.

For semi-supervised learning on graphs, we study how initial kernels in a supervised learning regime can be augmented with additional information from known priors or from unsupervised learning outputs. These augmented kernels are constructed in a simple update scheme based on the Schur-Hadamard product of the kernel with additional feature kernels. As generators of the positive definite kernels we will focus on graph basis functions (GBF) that allow to include geometric information of the graph via the graph Fourier transform. Using a regularized least squares (RLS) approach for machine learning, we will test the derived augmented kernels for the classification of data on graphs.
We present a flexible framework for uncertainty principles in spectral graph theory. In this framework, general filter functions modeling the spatial and spectral localization of a graph signal can be incorporated. It merges several existing uncertainty relations on graphs, among others the Landau-Pollak principle describing the joint admissibility region of two projection operators, and uncertainty relations based on spectral and spatial spreads. Using theoretical and computational aspects of the numerical range of matrices, we are able to characterize and illustrate the shapes of the uncertainty curves and to study the space-frequency localization of signals inside the admissibility regions.
The main purpose of our paper is a new approach to design of algorithms of Kaczmarz type in the framework of operators in Hilbert space. Our applications include a diverse list of optimization problems, new Karhunen-Lo`eve transforms, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for digital images. A key feature of our algorithms is our use of recursive systems of projection operators. Specifically, we apply our recursive projection algorithms for new computations of PCA probabilities and of variance data. For this we also make use of specific reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, factorization for kernels, and finite-dimensional approximations. Our projection algorithms are designed with view to maximum likelihood solutions, minimization of cost problems, identification of principal components, and data-dimension reduction.
Collective motion among biological organisms such as insects, fish, and birds has motivated considerable interest not only in biology but also in distributed robotic systems. In a robotic or biological swarm, anomalous agents (whether malfunctioning or nefarious) behave differently than the normal agents and attempt to hide in the chaos of the swarm. By defining a graph structure between agents in a swarm, we can treat the agents properties as a graph signal and use tools from the field of graph signal processing to understand local and global swarm properties. Here, we leverage this idea to show that anomalous agents can be effectively detected using their impacts on the graph Fourier structure of the swarm.
A critical task in graph signal processing is to estimate the true signal from noisy observations over a subset of nodes, also known as the reconstruction problem. In this paper, we propose a node-adaptive regularization for graph signal reconstruction, which surmounts the conventional Tikhonov regularization, giving rise to more degrees of freedom; hence, an improved performance. We formulate the node-adaptive graph signal denoising problem, study its bias-variance trade-off, and identify conditions under which a lower mean squared error and variance can be obtained with respect to Tikhonov regularization. Compared with existing approaches, the node-adaptive regularization enjoys more general priors on the local signal variation, which can be obtained by optimally designing the regularization weights based on Pronys method or semidefinite programming. As these approaches require additional prior knowledge, we also propose a minimax (worst-case) strategy to address instances where this extra information is unavailable. Numerical experiments with synthetic and real data corroborate the proposed regularization strategy for graph signal denoising and interpolation, and show its improved performance compared with competing alternatives.
