We propose a distributed normalized least mean square (LMS) algorithm, where each node updates its own estimate by the least mean square term, and sums the differences between its own estimate and the estimates of its neighbors with additive and multiplicative communication noises by the consensus term. By the algebraic graph theory and the stochastic analysis techniques, we obtain sufficient conditions for the boundedness of the tracking error. For a sequence of general random graphs, if the random graphs and the regression matrices satisfy the stochastic spatio-temporal persistence of excitation condition, then the mean-square tracking error is bounded by choosing appropriate constant gains. Furthermore, for conditional balanced graphs and Markovian switching graphs, we give sufficient conditions such that the persistence of excitation condition holds. Finally, we illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results through a numerical example.","PeriodicalId":56268,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks","volume":"11 ","pages":"289-303"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143655014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An intuitive example is utilized to demonstrate that processing each component of a vector separately can enrich implicit non-triggered information. Inspired by this, a sequential stochastic ET mechanism is proposed, which processes the measurement components one after the other. Particularly, to prevent the failure of the ET mechanism, observability decomposition is performed for each single-sensor subsystem. Then, the Bayes' theorem is utilized to derive the analytic form of the minimum mean-square error estimate. Moreover, the multi-sensor system being collectively detectable is proved to be a sufficient and necessary stability condition for the proposed method. Based on the stability result, we also analyze the relationship between the ET parameter and the communication rate, and provide a design scheme for the optimal ET parameter. Finally, the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method are verified by a target tracking system.","PeriodicalId":56268,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks","volume":"11 ","pages":"342-352"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The community detection problem in social networks is similar to the clustering in networks where information is stored in node attributes and network structures. The Node-based features are often used in unsupervised algorithms that partially detect the local and overlapping communities. Networks displaying a community structure may exhibit hierarchical communities as well. Identification of hierarchical communities with community structure is a challenging task. This paper presents a two-step framework, i.e., aggregation and label propagation, to identify crisp and non-overlapping communities. Aggregation is an expansion-dissolution technique that results in crisp communities that don't require any prior information. We initially estimated random communities for each node and applied aggregation to improve them. The second step is the label propagation-based objective maximization method that takes improved crisp communities as fuzzy matrices and results in non-overlapping communities. The label propagation method is a label update mechanism for nodes with neighbors in a different community. The Label propagation function is maximized using cuckoo search and reported optimized communities. The two-step framework is empirically tested on real and simulated social networks. A comparative and contrast study is performed using performance and accuracy-based metrics to validate the framework and is found to be state-of-the-art.","PeriodicalId":56268,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks","volume":"11 ","pages":"304-313"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143676124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DASF algorithm requires each node to sequentially build a compressed version of the original network-wide problem and solve it locally. However, these local problems can still result in a high computational load at the nodes, especially when the required solver is iterative. In this paper, we study the particular case of fractional programs, i.e., problems for which the objective function is a fraction of two continuous functions, which indeed require such iterative solvers. By exploiting the structure of a commonly used method for solving fractional programs and interleaving it with the iterations of the standard DASF algorithm, we obtain a distributed algorithm with a significantly reduced computational cost compared to the straightforward application of DASF as a meta-algorithm.

However, the current DNAGFs tend to underperform when predicting unknown nonlinear dynamic systems. This suboptimal performance is due to their reliance on a single NGFM and the network's limited computational burden. To address these issues, two novel cascaded DNAGFs considering the spline interpolation method, i.e. a distributed Wiener spline adaptive graph filter (DWSAGF) and distributed Hammerstein spline adaptive graph filter (DHSAGF), are proposed to improve the capacity for nonlineaprediction in this paper. By utilizing piecewise low-order nonlinear spline functions, the proposed DWSAGF and DHSAGF can adapt locally to improve the fitting of the predicted nonlinear system to the unknown one. In DWSAGF and DHSAGF, the cascaded architectures containing linear and nonlinear subsystems are employed, which are more flexible than the single NGFM. Particularly, since DHSAGF has a memory through the constructed matrix <inline-formula><tex-math>${boldsymbol {bar{U}}}_{m}^{bar{t}}(r)$</tex-math></inline-formula>, it generates higher performance than DWSAGF for complex or time-varying nonlinear systems. In addition, the detailed performance analyses regarding DWSAGF and DHSAGF in the mean and mean-square senses are presented.

Existing Graph Signal Processing algorithms have extensively studied signals on graph vertices, and while recent advancements have started exploring signals on edges, a framework for systematically representing interactive time-varying signals across vertices, edges, and higher-order structures has yet to be fully realized. We propose an Adaptive Joint Vertex-Edge Estimation (AJVEE) algorithm for jointly estimating time-varying vertex and edge signals through a time-varying regression, incorporating both vertex signal filtering and edge signal filtering. Accompanying AJVEE is a newly proposed Adaptive Least Mean Square procedure based on the Hodge Laplacian (ALMS-Hodge), which is inspired by classical adaptive filters combining simplicial filtering and simplicial regression. AJVEE is able to operate jointly on the vertices and edges by merging two ALMS-Hodge specified on the vertices and edges into a unified formulation. A more generalized case extending AJVEE beyond the vertices and edges is being discussed. Experimenting on real-world traffic networks and population mobility networks, we have confirmed that our proposed AJVEE algorithm could accurately and jointly track time-varying vertex and edge signals on graphs.","PeriodicalId":56268,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks","volume":"11 ","pages":"215-229"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143553483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
