A novel wavelet-based graph convolution network, WaveGC, is introduced to improve spectral graph convolution. By integrating multi-resolution spectral bases and a matrix-valued filter kernel, WaveGC can effectively capture short-range and long-range information, surpassing existing graph convolutional networks and graph Transformers. Theoretically, it is established that WaveGC provides superior filtering flexibility. To instantiate WaveGC, a novel technique for learning general graph wavelets by combining Chebyshev polynomials is introduced. This approach satisfies wavelet admissibility criteria. Numerical experiments demonstrate the capabilities of WaveGC, which can improve performance in both short-range and long-range tasks when replacing the Transformer part in existing architectures.

WaveGC is a new type of network that helps computers understand data on graphs. Graphs are like maps that show connections between things. WaveGC uses special mathematical tools called wavelets to make these networks better at finding patterns in the data. This means it can be used for all sorts of tasks, like understanding social media or predicting what people might buy online.
