This paper presents a Laplacian-based image filtering method. Using a local noise estimator function in an energy functional minimizing scheme we show that Laplacian that has been known as an edge detection function can be used for noise removal applications. The algorithm can be implemented on a 3x3 window and easily tuned by number of iterations. Image denoising is simplified to the reduction...

let $g = (v, e)$ be a simple graph. denote by $d(g)$ the diagonal matrix $diag(d_1,cdots,d_n)$, where $d_i$ is the degree of vertex $i$  and  $a(g)$ the adjacency matrix of $g$. the  signless laplacianmatrix of $g$ is $q(g) = d(g) + a(g)$ and the $k-$th signless laplacian spectral moment of  graph $g$ is defined as $t_k(g)=sum_{i=1}^{n}q_i^{k}$, $kgeqslant 0$, where $q_1$,$q_2$, $cdots$, $q_n$ ...

‎For a simple graph $G$‎, ‎the signless Laplacian Estrada index is defined as $SLEE(G)=sum^{n}_{i=1}e^{q^{}_i}$‎, ‎where $q^{}_1‎, ‎q^{}_2‎, ‎dots‎, ‎q^{}_n$ are the eigenvalues of the signless Laplacian matrix of $G$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we first characterize the unicyclic graphs with the first two largest and smallest $SLEE$'s and then determine the unique unicyclic graph with maximum $SLEE$ a...

The purpose of multi-focus image fusion is gathering the essential information and the focused parts from the input multi-focus images into a single image. These multi-focus images are captured with different depths of focus of cameras. A lot of multi-focus image fusion techniques have been introduced using considering the focus measurement in the spatial domain. However, the multi-focus image ...

Communities in directed networks have often been characterized as regions with a high density of links, or as sets of nodes with certain patterns of connection. Our approach for community detection combines the optimization of a quality function and a spectral clustering of a deformation of the combinatorial Laplacian, the so-called magnetic Laplacian. The eigenfunctions of the magnetic Laplaci...

We prove the analytic continuation of the resolvent of the Laplacian on asymptotically hyperbolic spaces on differential forms, including high energy estimates in strips. This is achieved by placing the spectral family of the Laplacian within the framework developed, and applied to scalar problems, by the author recently, roughly by extending the problem across the boundary of the compactificat...

Digital Geometry Processing (DGP) is concerned with the construction of signal processing style algorithms that operate on surface geometry, typically specified by an unstructured triangle mesh. An active subfield of study involves the utilization of discrete mesh Laplacian operators for eigenvalue decomposition, mimicking the effect of discrete Fourier analysis on mesh geometry. In this paper,...

We introduce a one-parameter family of massive Laplacian operators (∆)k∈[0,1) defined on isoradial graphs, involving elliptic functions. We prove an explicit formula for minus the inverse of ∆, the massive Green function, which has the remarkable property of only depending on the local geometry of the graph, and compute its asymptotics. We study the corresponding statistical mechanics model of ...
