GSP_DESIGN_HEAT - Design a simple heat kernel

Program code:

function g = gsp_design_heat(G,tau,param)
%GSP_DESIGN_HEAT Design a simple heat kernel
%   Usage: gsp_design_heat(G);
%          gsp_design_heat(G,tau);
%          gsp_design_heat(G,tau,param);
%
%   Input parameters:
%       G       : Graph structure
%       tau     : scaling parameter (default 10)
%
%   Output parameters
%       g       : filter
%
%   This function design the following filter:
%
%       g(x) =  exp(-tau*x/lmax) 
%
%   If tau is a vector, the function returns a cell array of filters.
%
%   param is an optional structure containing the following fields
%
%    param.verbose*: verbosity level. 0 no log - 1 display warnings.
%     (default 1) 
%    param.normalize*: Normalize the kernel (works only if the
%     eigenvalues are present in the graph. Use gsp_compute_fourier_basis
%     for this.) (default 0) 
%
%   This function will compute the maximum eigenvalue of the laplacian. To
%   be more efficient, you can precompute it using:
%
%       G = gsp_estimate_lmax(G);
%
%   Example:
%
%         Nf = 4;
%         G = gsp_sensor(100);
%         G = gsp_estimate_lmax(G);
%         g = gsp_design_heat(G);   
%         gsp_plot_filter(G,g);
