It is now well known that ultracontractive properties of semigroups with infinitesimal generator given by an undirected graph Laplacian operator can be obtained through an understanding of the geometry of the underlying infinite weighted…
We define a number of natural (from geometric and combinatorial points of view) deformation spaces of valuations on finite graphs, and study functions over these deformation spaces. These functions include both direct metric invariants…
We show that recent results of U. Baumgartner and G.A. Willis concerning contraction groups of automorphisms of metrizable, totally disconnected, locally compact groups remain valid also in the non-metrizable case, if one restricts…
Congruences on a graph inverse semigroup were recently described in terms of the underline graph. Based on such descriptions, we show that the lattice of congruences on a graph inverse semigroup is upper semimodular but not lower…
We introduce an abstract framework for the study of clustering in metric graphs: after suitably metrising the space of graph partitions, we restrict Laplacians to the clusters thus arising and use their spectral gaps to define several…
We explore positivity properties of the semigroup generated by the negative of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator with real potential $\lambda$, defined on a subset of the vertices of a quantum graph. We show that for rationally independent…
The main objective of this dissertation is to analyse thoroughly the construction of self-adjoint extensions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator defined on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and the role that quadratic forms play to…
In this paper we consider an initial-boundary value problem related to some network dynamics where the underlying graph has unbounded edges. We show that there exists a C0-semigroup for this problem using a general result from the…
We study perturbations of Feller generators under `lower order terms' with measurable coefficients. We investigate which properties of the original semigroup -- such as positivity, conservativeness and the Feller property -- are passed to…
In this paper we extensively investigate the class of conditionally positive definite operators, namely operators generating conditionally positive definite sequences. This class itself contains subnormal operators, $2$- and $3$-isometries…
We consider eventually positive operator semigroups and study the question whether their eventual positivity is preserved by bounded perturbations of the generator or not. We demonstrate that eventual positivity is not stable with respect…
It is known that up to certain pathologies, a compact metric graph with standard vertex conditions has a Baire-generic set of choices of edge lengths such that all Laplacian eigenvalues are simple and have eigenfunctions that do not vanish…
For a finite not necessarily compact metric graph, one considers the differential expression $-\frac{d^2}{d x^2}$ on each edge. The boundary conditions at the vertices of the graph yielding quasi-m-accretive as well as m-accretive operators…
In this paper, we consider various graphs, namely: power graph, cyclic graph, enhanced power graph and commuting graph, on a finite semigroup $S$. For an arbitrary pair of these four graphs, we classify finite semigroups such that the…
We generalize the notion of Lagrangian subspaces to self-orthogonal subspaces with respect to a (skew-)symmetric form, thus characterizing (skew-)self-adjoint and unitary operators by means of self-ortho-gonal subspaces. By orthogonality…
We consider expanding semiflows on branched surfaces. The family of transfer operators associated to the semiflow is a one-parameter semigroup of operators. The transfer operators may also be viewed as an operator-valued function of time…
Graphs are a fundamental abstraction in computer science and discrete mathematics, where information is encoded in their combinatorial structure. Graph-reduction techniques aim at simplifying graphs while preserving selected structural…
Consider --- for the generator \({-}A\) of a symmetric contraction semigroup over some measure space $\mathrm{X}$, $1\le p < \infty$, $q$ the dual exponent and given measurable functions $F_j,\: G_j : \mathbb{C}^d \to \mathbb{C}$ --- the…
We investigate a smoothing property for strongly-continuous operator semigroups, akin to ultracontractivity in parabolic evolution equations. Specifically, we establish the stability of this property under certain relatively bounded…
We explore graph theoretical properties of minimal prime graphs of finite solvable groups. In finite group theory studying the prime graph of a group has been an important topic for the past almost half century. Recently prime graphs of…
