We introduce submodular hypergraphs, a family of hypergraphs that have different submodular weights associated with different cuts of hyperedges. Submodular hypergraphs arise in clustering applications in which higher-order structures carry…

In this paper, some new forms of the Cheeger's inequalities are established for general (maybe unbounded) symmetric forms, the resulting estimates improve and extend the ones obtained by Lawler and Sokal (1988) for bounded jump processes.…

We establish mild conditions under which a possibly irregular, sparse graph $G$ has "many" strong orientations. Given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, orient each edge in either direction with probability $1/2$ independently. We show that if…

We present some applications of ideas from partial differential equations and differential geometry to the study of difference equations on infinite graphs. All operators that we consider are examples of "elliptic operators" as defined by…

Cheeger's inequality shows that any undirected graph $G$ with minimum nonzero normalized Laplacian eigenvalue $\lambda_G$ has a cut with conductance at most $O(\sqrt{\lambda_G})$. Qualitatively, Cheeger's inequality says that if the…

We address the Laplacian on a perturbed periodic graph which might not be a periodic graph. We present a class of perturbed graphs for which the essential spectra of the Laplacians are stable even when the graphs are perturbed by adding and…

We develop a new approach to recurrence and the existence of non-constant harmonic functions on infinite weighted graphs. The approach is based on the capacity of subsets of metric boundaries with respect to intrinsic metrics. The main tool…

We introduce a dynamically defined class of unbounded, connected, equilateral metric graphs on which the Kirchhoff Laplacian has zero Lebesgue measure spectrum and a nontrivial singular continuous part. A new local Borg--Marchenko…

On a non-compact, smooth, connected, boundaryless, complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, one can define its ideal boundary by rays (or equivalently, Busemann functions). From the viewpoint of Mather theory, boundary elements could be…

In this paper we prove a new extremal property of the Reuleaux triangle: it maximizes the Cheeger constant among all bodies of (same) constant width. The proof relies on a fine analysis of the optimality conditions satisfied by an optimal…
