Abstract

We study the convergence of the graph Laplacian of a random geometric graph generated by an i.i.d. sample from a m-dimensional submanifold \({\mathcal {M}}\) in \(\mathbb {R}^d\) as the sample size n increases and the neighborhood size h tends to zero. We show that eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian converge with a rate of \(O\Big (\big (\frac{\log n}{n}\big )^\frac{1}{2m}\Big )\) to the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the weighted Laplace–Beltrami operator of \({\mathcal {M}}\). No information on the submanifold \({\mathcal {M}}\) is needed in the construction of the graph or the “out-of-sample extension” of the eigenvectors. Of independent interest is a generalization of the rate of convergence of empirical measures on submanifolds in \(\mathbb {R}^d\) in infinity transportation distance.

Note that as stated, our theorems give \(C_{m,\alpha ,r }\) , but in this case \(C_{m,\alpha ,r }= C_{m,\alpha } r\) because we can always rescale to the unit ball.

Note that as stated, Theorem 1.1 in [11] gives \(C_{m,\alpha ,\beta ,r }\), but in this case \(C_{m,\alpha ,\beta ,r }= C_{m,\alpha ,\beta }\, r\) as one can simply rescale to the unit ball.
