Study Notes

Graphs Represented as Matrices

  • Graphs can be represented using an NxN matrix for N nodes.
  • Matrix element i,j is 1 if an edge exists from node i to j; otherwise, it is 0.
  • Edges may have weights, with values for i,j being greater than or equal to 1.
  • In-degree is calculated by summing each column; out-degree by summing each row.

Discrete-Continuous Interchange

  • Discrete time points can be represented with a vector of length N for each graph node.
  • The vector's value at index n indicates the current weight of that node.
  • A normalized NxN graph matrix represents a continuous graph.
  • Multiplying the matrix with a discrete point yields a vector for the subsequent time point.
  • If total out-degree sums to 1, the graph maintains weight under flow, termed a stochastic matrix.

Eigenvectors, Eigenvalues, and Eigenspectrums

  • An eigenvector maintains its homogeneity under a linear map.
  • The eigenvalue (λ) is the scalar that scales the eigenvector (v) during transformation: (Av = λv).
  • The eigenspectrum consists of all eigenvalues sorted in descending order of magnitude.

Leading Eigenvector and Deflation of Linear Maps

  • The leading eigenvector can be determined using a power iteration method.
  • Subsequent eigenvectors are found by removing the previous eigenvector from the linear map and applying power iteration again, a process known as deflation.

Principal Component Analysis

  • Involves computing the eigenspectrum of the covariance matrix.
  • Reveals the most significant axis impacted by the linear transformation.

Trace and Determinant

  • The trace of a matrix is the sum of its diagonal elements or the sum of its eigenvalues.
  • The determinant is the product of a matrix's eigenvalues.

Definiteness

  • A matrix is positive definite if all eigenvalues are greater than zero.
  • It is negative definite if all eigenvalues are less than zero.
  • Semi-positive/negative matrices have eigenvalues that are either greater or less than or equal to zero.

Singular Value Decomposition

  • A matrix can be decomposed into three components represented as:
    • ( A[m,n] = U[m,m] \cdot D[m,n] \cdot V[n,n] )
  • U is an orthogonal matrix with dimensions m x r, composed of eigenvectors of ( AA^T ).
  • D is a diagonal matrix with values equal to the square roots of the eigenvalues of ( A^TA ).
  • V is the r x n matrix comprised of eigenvectors of ( A^TA ).

Data Whitening

  • A normalization preprocessing technique for datasets.
  • Ensures the matrix has a mean of 0 and a covariance of -1.
