Vector-Valued Graph Trend Filtering With Non-Convex Penalties
This article studies the denoising of piecewise smooth graph signals that exhibit inhomogeneous levels of smoothness over a graph, where the value at each node can be vector-valued. We extend the graph trend filtering framework to denoising vector-valued graph signals with a family of non-convex regularizers, which exhibit superior recovery performance over existing convex regularizers. Using an oracle inequality, we establish the statistical error rates of first-order stationary points of the proposed non-convex method for generic graphs. Furthermore, we present an ADMM-based algorithm to solve the proposed method and establish its convergence. Numerical experiments are conducted on both synthetic and real-world data for denoising, support recovery, event detection, and semi-supervised classification.
