Fourier transform of vector-valued graph signals

Classical Graph Signal Processing (GSP) provides a robust framework for analyzing signals on irregular domains, utilizing the graph Fourier transform as a cornerstone for spectral analysis and filtering. However, as data structures grow in complexity, there is an increasing need to handle multi-dimensional information. In this paper, we propose a generalization of the GSP framework by introducing vector-valued graph signals which take values in arbitrary Banach spaces. We define and investigate the fundamental operators of vertex-frequency analysis within this broader setting, including the Fourier transform, convolution, and translation operators. A key contribution of this work is the derivation of operator norm estimates and the establishment of graph-theoretic versions of classical uncertainty principles. We demonstrate how these results depend on the choice of the orthonormal basis and on the underlying $L^p$ norms. By modeling multiple scalar signals as a single vector-valued entity, this framework facilitates the study of inter-signal correlations, providing a flexible and mathematically grounded environment for analyzing multivariate time-series and time-varying signals on complex networks.

Updates on MURAVES Project at Mt. Vesuvius

The MUon RAdiography of VESuvius (MURAVES) project aims to use muography imaging techniques to study the internal structure of the summit of the Mt. Vesuvius, an active volcano near Naples, Italy. This paper presents recent advancements in both data analysis and simulation tools that enhance the quality and reliability of the experiments results. A new track selection method, termed the Golden Selection, has been introduced to select high quality muon tracks by applying a refined Chi2 based criterion. This selection improves the signal to background ratio and enhances the resolution of muographic images. Additionally, the simulation framework has been upgraded with the integration of the MULDER (MUon simuLation for DEnsity Reconstruction) library, which unifies the functionalities of pervious used libraries within a single platform. MULDER enables efficient and accurate modeling of muon flux variations due to topographical features. An agreement is shown between simulated and experimental flux map.

Simulation tools, first results and experimental status of the MURAVES experiment

The MUon RAdiography of VESuvius (MURAVES) project aims at the study of Mt. Vesuvius, an active and hazardous volcano near Naples, Italy, with the use of muons freely and abundantly produced by cosmic rays. In particular, the MURAVES experiment intends to perform muographic imaging of the internal structure of the summit of Mt. Vesuvius. The challenging measurement of the rock density distribution in its summit by muography, in conjunction with data from other geophysical techniques, can help model possible eruption dynamics. The MURAVES apparatus consists of an array of three independent and identical muon trackers, with a total sensitive area of 3 square meters. In each tracker, a sequence of 4 XY tracking planes made of plastic scintillators is complemented by a 60 cm thick lead wall inserted between the two downstream planes to improve rejection of background from low energy muons. The apparatus is currently acquiring data. This paper presents preliminary results from the analysis of the first data samples acquired with trackers pointing towards Mt. Vesuvius, including the first relative measurement of the density projection of two flanks of the volcano at three different altitudes; we also present the workflow of the simulation chain of the MURAVES experiment and its ongoing developments.
