Abstract

In this paper, we obtain sharp Faber-Krahn inequalities for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the combinatorial pp-Laplacian on connected graphs with a fixed number of vertices or with a fixed number of edges. More precisely, we show that the minimum of the first pp-Dirichlet eigenvalues of connected graphs with boundary that consist of nn vertices or nn edges is achieved only on the tadpole graph Tn,3T_{n,3} when p>1p>1.
