We provide an introductory review of some topics in spectral theory of Laplacians on metric graphs. We focus on three different aspects: the trace formula, the self-adjointness problem and connections between Laplacians on metric graphs and…
We locate gaps in the spectrum of a Hamiltonian on a periodic cuboidal (and generally hyperrectangular) lattice graph with $\delta$ couplings in the vertices. We formulate sufficient conditions under which the number of gaps is finite. As…
Trace formulae for d-regular graphs are derived and used to express the spectral density in terms of the periodic walks on the graphs under consideration. The trace formulae depend on a parameter w which can be tuned continuously to assign…
