Hodge Laplacians on graphs

Lek-Heng Lim

Abstract: This is an elementary introduction to the Hodge Laplacian on a graph, a higher-order generalization of the graph Laplacian. We will discuss basic properties including cohomology and Hodge theory. At the end we will also discuss the nonlinear Laplacian on a graph, a nonlinear generalization of the graph Laplacian as its name implies. These generalized Laplacians will be constructed out of coboundary operators, i.e., discrete analogues of exterior derivatives. The main feature of our approach is simplicity -this… Show more

“…Let f ∈ L 2 (V) and F ∈ L 2 (E) be functions on the vertices and edges of the graphs, respectively. We can define differential operators acting on such functions analogously to differential operators on manifolds [72]. The graph gradient is an operator ∇ : L 2 (V) → L 2 (E) mapping functions defined on vertices to functions defined on edges,…”

“…The classical algorithms for persistent homology of [ZC05] work for field coefficients such as Z2. The Betti numbers of homology groups over R coefficients do not capture the torsion [Lim15]. Nonetheless, this seems to be enough for many of the situations in TDA.…”

“…In this subsection, we define harmonic cycles, a main object of study of this paper, via combinatorial Laplacians, and recall combinatorial Hodge theory relating harmonic cycles and homology groups. For readers who search for a basic material introducing harmonic spaces, refer to [18]. For an application of this theory to the ranking system of items, can be found in [12].…”

“…A harmonic cycle is energy minimizing among its homologous cycles, and as we shall see, allows intriguing combinatorial interpretations. For a basic material about harmonic cycles, check [18]. See [21] and [3] for previous studies concerning harmonic spaces as a projection of cycle spaces.…”
