Topological Signal Processing With Unoriented Operators

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Topological signal processing (TSP) processes signals on simplicial complexes with oriented boundary operators, which is the natural choice for flow signals or when the topological invariants play a role for the task at hand. However, many higher-order signals carry no orientation, and applying oriented operators to them is not well-defined since it introduces an arbitrary choice of simplex orientation. We study an unoriented TSP (UTSP) framework that replaces oriented boundaries with unoriented incidence matrices. First, we show that unoriented incidence and Laplacian matrices between arbitra
