Title:Identifying First-order Lowpass Graph Signals using Perron Frobenius Theorem
View PDFAbstract:This paper is concerned with the blind identification of graph filters from graph signals. Our aim is to determine if the graph filter generating the graph signals is first-order lowpass without knowing the graph topology. Notice that lowpass graph filter is a common prerequisite for applying graph signal processing tools for sampling, denoising, and graph learning. Our method is inspired by the Perron Frobenius theorem, which observes that for first-order lowpass graph filter, the top eigenvector of output covariance would be the only eigenvector with elements of the same sign. Utilizing this observation, we develop a simple detector that answers if a given data set is produced by a first-order lowpass graph filter. We analyze the effects of finite-sample, graph size, observation noise, strength of lowpass filter, on the detector's performance. Numerical experiments on synthetic and real data support our findings.
