Graphs, depicting the interrelations between variables, has been widely used as effective side information for accurate data recovery in various matrix/tensor recovery related applications. In this paper, we study the tensor completion problem with graph information. Current research on graph-regularized tensor completion tends to be task-specific, lacking generality and systematic approaches. Furthermore, a recovery theory to ensure performance remains absent. Moreover, these approaches overlook the dynamic aspects of graphs, treating them as static akin to matrices, even though graphs could exhibit dynamism in tensor-related scenarios. To confront these challenges, we introduce a pioneering framework in this paper that systematically formulates a novel model, theory, and algorithm for solving the dynamic graph regularized tensor completion problem. For the model, we establish a rigorous mathematical representation of the dynamic graph, based on which we derive a new tensor-oriented graph smoothness regularization. By integrating this regularization into a tensor decomposition model based on transformed t-SVD, we develop a comprehensive model simultaneously capturing the low-rank and similarity structure of the tensor. In terms of theory, we showcase the alignment between the proposed graph smoothness regularization and a weighted tensor nuclear norm. Subsequently, we establish assurances of statistical consistency for our model, effectively bridging a gap in the theoretical examination of the problem involving tensor recovery with graph information. In terms of the algorithm, we develop a solution of high effectiveness, accompanied by a guaranteed convergence, to address the resulting model. To showcase the prowess of our proposed model in contrast to established ones, we provide in-depth numerical experiments encompassing synthetic data as well as real-world datasets.
