It is well known that the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian for a two-dimensional waveguide, which is a local deformation of a straight strip, is unstable with respect to waveguide boundary deformations. This means that, when the…
We consider Laplace operators on periodic discrete graphs perturbed by guides, i.e., graphs which are periodic in some directions and finite in other ones. The spectrum of the Laplacian on the unperturbed graph is a union of a finite number…
