We review recent progress in understanding the physical meaning of quantum graph models through analysis of their vertex coupling approximations.
The longstanding open problem of approximating all singular vertex couplings in a quantum graph is solved. We present a construction in which the edges are decoupled; an each pair of their endpoints is joined by an edge carrying a $\delta$…
We demonstrate how to approximate one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with $\delta$-interaction by a Neumann Laplacian on a narrow waveguide-like domain. Namely, we consider a domain consisting of a straight strip and a small…
We study Schr\"odinger operators on compact finite metric graphs subject to $\delta$-coupling and standard boundary conditions. We compare the $n$-th eigenvalues of those self-adjoint realizations and derive an asymptotic result for the…
The paper discusses quantum graphs with a vertex coupling which interpolates between the common one of the $\delta$ type and a coupling introduced recently by two of the authors which exhibits a preferred orientation. Describing the…
For a compact, connected metric graphs with a boundary that consists of $k$ vertices, we prove that an arbitrary symmetric $k\times k$ matrix with real entries can be realized as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator for the Laplacian plus a…
Laplacian operators on finite compact metric graphs are considered under the assumption that matching conditions at graph vertices are of $\delta$ and $\delta'$ types. An infinite series of trace formulae is obtained which link together two…
We review recent probabilistic results on covariant Schr\"odinger operators on vector bundles over (possibly locally infinite) weighted graphs, and explain applications like semiclassical limits. We also clarify the relationship between…
We prove an approximation result showing how operators of the type $-\Delta -\gamma \delta (x-\Gamma)$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$, where $\Gamma$ is a graph, can be modeled in the strong resolvent sense by point-interaction Hamiltonians with an…
We establish convergence of spectra of Neumann Laplacian in a thin neighborhood of a branching 2D structure in 3D to the spectrum of an appropriately defined operator on the structure itself. This operator is a 2D analog of the well known…
We prove sharp upper bounds for eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger operators on quantum graphs with $\delta$-coupling (also known as Robin) conditions at all vertices. The bounds depend on the geometry of the graph, on the potential, and the…
Quantum networks are often modelled using Schroedinger operators on metric graphs. To give meaning to such models one has to know how to interpret the boundary conditions which match the wave functions at the graph vertices. In this article…
We discuss resonances for Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs which consists of a finite compact part and a finite number of halflines attached to it; the vertex coupling is assumed to be of the $\delta$-type or certain modifications…
We address the question of convergence of Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs with general self-adjoint vertex conditions as lengths of some of graph's edges shrink to zero. We determine the limiting operator and study convergence in a…
