Showing Eigenvalues are non negative in a graph problem












2














This is a graph problem, related to one I posted earlier as this is for a later part of the same question. I've tried a few things but haven't made much progress so far.



$mathcal{E}$ is a set of edges such that $(x,y)$ is an edge between nodes $x$ and $y$.



$w_{(x,y)}$ is the weight of edge $(x,y)$.



$d_y=sum_{x text{such that} (x,y) in mathcal{E}}w_{(x,y)}$



$D=text{diag}{d_y}$



Which means the diagonal matrix containing vector $mathbf{d}$ on its leading diagonal which has elements which are the sums of rows of $w(x,y)$. But I am not really sure.



$W_{x,y}=begin{cases}w_{(x,y)},& text{for } (x,y) in mathcal{E}\ 0, & text{otherwise}end{cases}$



$M=D-W$



Show that eigenvalues of $M$ are non-negative.



If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated.

          For every vector $f$ in $R^n$ we have:



          $$f'Mf=f'Df-f'Wf=sum_{i=1}^nd_if_i^2-sum_{i,j=1}^nf_if_jw_{ij}$$
          $$frac{1}2(sum_{i=1}^n d_if_i^2+sum_{j=1}^nd_jf_j^2-2sum_{i,j=1}^nf_if_jw_{ij})=frac{1}2sum_{i,j=1}^nw_{ij}(f_i-f_j)^2geq0$$



          This shows you that M is a positive semi-definite matrix, and hence the eigenvalues are non-negative.

          This shows you that M is a positive semi-definite matrix, and hence the eigenvalues are non-negative.
