A Graph Downsampling Technique Based On Graph Fourier Transform
  In this paper, we provide a Graph Fourier Transform based approach to downsample signals on graphs. For bandlimited signals on a graph, a test is provided to identify whether signal reconstruction is possible from the given downsampled signal. Moreover, if the signal is not bandlimited, we provide a quality measure for comparing different downsampling schemes. Using this quality measure, we propose a greedy downsampling algorithm. Most of the prevailing approaches consider undirected graphs, and exploit the topological properties of the graph in order to downsample the grid, while the proposed method exploits spectral properties of graph signals, and is applicable to directed graphs, undirected graphs, and graphs with negative edge-weights. We provide several experiments demonstrating our downsampling scheme, and compare our quality measure with measures like normalized cuts.
