Specifically, we show how a node-wise convolution for signals supported on a graph can be expressed as another node-wise convolution in a frequency domain graph, different from the original graph. This is achieved through a parameterization of the filter coefficients following a basis expansion model. After showing how the presented theorem is consistent with the already existing body of literature, we discuss its implications in terms of non-stationarity. Finally, we propose a data-driven algorithm based on subspace fitting to learn the frequency domain graph, which is then corroborated by experimental results on synthetic and real data.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.16922v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.16922v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-generalization-of-the-convolution-theorem","repo_url":"https://github.com/albertonat/genconv","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[{"method_slug":"convolution","method_name":"Convolution"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
