Computing eigenvalues of large scale sparse tensors arising from a hypergraph

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The spectral theory of higher-order symmetric tensors is an important tool to reveal some important properties of a hypergraph via its adjacency tensor, Laplacian tensor, and signless Laplacian tensor. Owing to the sparsity of these tensors, we propose an efficient approach to calculate products of these tensors and any vectors. Using the state-of-the-art L-BFGS approach, we develop a first-order optimization algorithm for computing H- and Z-eigenvalues of these large scale sparse tensors (CEST). With the aid of the Kurdyka-{L}ojasiewicz property, we prove that the sequence of iterates generated by CEST converges to an eigenvector of the tensor.When CEST is started from multiple randomly initial points, the resulting best eigenvalue could touch the extreme eigenvalue with a high probability. Finally, numerical experiments on small hypergraphs show that CEST is efficient and promising. Moreover, CEST is capable of computing eigenvalues of tensors corresponding to a hypergraph with millions of vertices.
