| | In which we show how to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of Cayley graphs of Abelian groups, we find tight examples for various results that we proved in earlier lectures, and, along the way, we develop the general theory of harmonic analysis which includes the Fourier transform of periodic functions of a real variable, the...

| | [AI summary] The text discusses the representation of functions as vectors and their applications in various domains such as signal processing, geometry, and physics. It explains how functions can be treated as vectors in a vector space, leading to the concept of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues, which are crucial for understanding and manipulating signals and geometries. The text also covers different types of Laplacians, including the standard Laplacian, higher-dimensional Laplacians, and the Laplace-Beltrami operator, and their applications in fields like image compression, computer graphics, and quantum mechanics. The discussion includes spherical harmonics, which are used in representing functions on spheres, and their applications in game engines and glo...

| | In our last primer we saw the Fourier series, which flushed out the notion that a periodic function can be represented as an infinite series of sines and cosines. While this is fine and dandy, and quite a powerful tool, it does not suffice for the real world. In the real world, very little is truly periodic, especially since human measurements can only record a finite period of time. Even things we wish to explore on this blog are hardly periodic (for instance, image analysis).

| In linear algebra terms, a correlation matrix is a symmetric positive semidefinite matrix with unit diagonal. In other words, it is a symmetric matrix with ones on the diagonal whose eigenvalues are all nonnegative. The term comes from statistics. If $latex x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$ are column vectors with $latex m$ elements, each vector containing...
