convolutional graph filters are shift equivariant

Data
Theorem

graph convolution are shift equivariant.

Let y=H(S)x where S is a shift operator. Suppose x=Sx. To show shift equivariance, we need to show y=Sy (ie the output is shifted in the same way the input was).

Proof

y=H(S)x=k=0K1hkSk(Sx)=k=0K1hkSk+1x=Sk=0K1hkSkx=Sy
