Fast Computation of Eigenvector Centralities for Multilayer Networks with Nonnegative Tensor Train
Lobachevskii Journal of Mathematics, vol. 46, pp. 3804–3814, 2025
In this article, we introduce eigenvector centralities for higher-order multilayer networks and suggest to use nonnegative tensor train decomposition for fast computations of dominant eigenvectors of multi-homogeneous maps via power iterates. The analysis of the approximation error for using nonnegative tensor train …
Nonlinear Perron-Frobenius theorems for nonnegative tensors
SIAM Review (SIGEST paper), vol. 65, pp. 495–536, 2023
We present a unifying Perron–Frobenius theory for nonlinear spectral problems defined in terms of nonnegative tensors. By using the concept of tensor shape partition, our results include, as a special case, a wide variety of particular tensor spectral problems considered in the literature and can be applied to a broad …
Node and Edge Eigenvector Centrality for Hypergraphs
Communications Physics, vol. 4:201, 2021
Network scientists have shown that there is great value in studying pairwise interactions between components in a system. From a linear algebra point of view, this involves defining and evaluating functions of the associated adjacency matrix. Recent work indicates that there are further benefits from accounting …
Nonlinear Higher-Order Label Spreading
The Web Conference (WWW), pp. 2402–2413, 2021
Label spreading is a general technique for semi-supervised learning with point cloud or network data, which can be interpreted as a diffusion of labels on a graph. While there are many variants of label spreading, nearly all of them are linear models, where the incoming information to a node is a weighted sum of …
Ergodicity coefficients for higher-order stochastic processes
SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science, vol. 2, pp. 740–769, 2020
The use of higher-order stochastic processes such as nonlinear Markov chains or vertex-reinforced random walks is significantly growing in recent years as they are much better at modeling high dimensional data and nonlinear dynamics in numerous application settings. In many cases of practical interest, these processes …
A framework for second order eigenvector centralities and clustering coefficients
Proceedings of the Royal Society A, vol. 476, pp. 20190724, 2020
We propose and analyse a general tensor-based framework for incorporating second order features into network measures. This approach allows us to combine traditional pairwise links with information that records whether triples of nodes are involved in wedges or triangles. Our treatment covers classical spectral methods …
Shifted and extrapolated power methods for tensor $\ell^p$-eigenpairs
Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA), vol. 53, pp. 1–27, 2020
This work is concerned with the computation of $\ell^p$-eigenvalues and eigenvectors of square tensors with $d$ modes. In the first part we propose two possible shifted variants of the popular (higher-order) power method for the computation of $\ell^p$-eigenpairs proving the convergence of both the schemes to the …
Extrapolation methods for fixed-point multilinear PageRank computations
Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications, vol. 27, pp. e2280, 2020
Nonnegative tensors arise very naturally in many applications that involve large and complex data flows. Due to the relatively small requirement in terms of memory storage and number of operations per step, the (shifted) higher-order power method is one of the most commonly used technique for the computation of …
Multi-Dimensional, Multilayer, Nonlinear and Dynamic HITS
SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM), pp. 369–377, 2019
We introduce a ranking model for temporal multi-dimensional weighted and directed networks based on the Perron eigenvector of a multi-homogeneous order-preserving map. The model extends to the temporal multilayer setting the HITS algorithm and defines five centrality vectors: two for the nodes, two for the layers, and …
The contractivity of cone-preserving multilinear mappings
Nonlinearity, vol. 32, pp. 4713, 2019
With the notion of mode-$j$ Birkhoff contraction ratio, we prove a multilinear version of the Birkhoff-Hopf and the Perron-Fronenius theorems, which provide conditions on the existence and uniqueness of a solution to a large family of systems of nonlinear equations of the type $$f_i(x_1,…,x_ν)= λ_i x_i, ,$$ being $x_i$ …
A unifying Perron-Frobenius theorem for nonnegative tensors via multihomogeneous maps
SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, vol. 40, pp. 1206–1231, 2019
We introduce the concept of shape partition of a tensor and formulate a general tensor eigenvalue problem that includes all previously studied eigenvalue problems as special cases. We formulate irreducibility and symmetry properties of a nonnegative tensor $T$ in terms of the associated shape partition. We recast the …
Node and layer eigenvector centralities for multiplex networks
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, vol. 78, pp. 853–876, 2018
Eigenvector-based centrality measures are among the most popular centrality measures in network science. The underlying idea is intuitive and the mathematical description is extremely simple in the framework of standard, mono-layer networks. Moreover, several efficient computational tools are available for their …
An Efficient Multilinear Optimization Framework for Hypergraph Matching
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, vol. 39, pp. 1054–1075, 2017
Hypergraph matching has recently become a popular approach for solving correspondence problems in computer vision as it allows to integrate higher-order geometric information. Hypergraph matching can be formulated as a third-order optimization problem subject to the assignment constraints which turns out to be NP-hard. …
The Perron-Frobenius theorem for multihomogeneous mappings
SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, vol. 40, pp. 1179–1205, 2019
The Perron-Frobenius theory for nonnegative matrices has been generalized to order-preserving homogeneous mappings on a cone and more recently to nonnegative multilinear forms. We unify both approaches by introducing the concept of order-preserving multi-homogeneous mappings, their associated nonlinear spectral …
