On a compact metric graph, we consider the spectrum of the Laplacian defined with a mix of standard and Dirichlet vertex conditions. A Cheeger-type lower bound on the gap $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ is established, with a constant that depends…
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…

On finite metric graphs we consider Laplace operators, subject to various classes of non-self-adjoint boundary conditions imposed at graph vertices. We investigate spectral properties, existence of a Riesz basis of projectors and similarity…
We discuss optimal lower bounds for eigenvalues of Laplacians on weighted graphs. These bounds are formulated in terms of the geometry and, more specifically, the inradius of subsets of the graph. In particular, we study the first non-zero…
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 study spectral properties of the standard (also called Kirchhoff) Laplacian and the anti-standard (or anti-Kirchhoff) Laplacian on a finite, compact metric graph. We show that the positive eigenvalues of these two operators coincide…
We introduce the discrete poly-Laplace operator on a subgraph with Dirichlet boundary condition. We obtain upper and lower bounds for the sum of the first $k$ Dirichlet eigenvalues of the poly-Laplace operators on a finite subgraph of…
We derive upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Kirchhoff Laplacian on a compact metric graph depending on the graph's genus g. These bounds can be further improved if $g = 0$, i.e. if the metric graph is planar. Our results are based on…
We develop eigenvalue estimates for the Laplacians on discrete and metric graphs using different types of boundary conditions at the vertices of the metric graph. Via an explicit correspondence of the equilateral metric and discrete graph…
We establish a Harnack inequality for finite connected graphs with non-negative Ricci curvature. As a consequence, we derive an eigenvalue lower bound, extending previous results for Ricci flat graphs.
We study topological Poincar\'e type inequalities on general graphs. We characterize graphs satisfying such inequalities and then turn to the best constants in these inequalities. Invoking suitable metrics we can interpret these constants…
This paper deals with spectral graph theory issues related to questions of monotonicity and comparison of eigenvalues. We consider finite directed graphs with non symmetric edge weights and we introduce a special self-adjoint operator as…
Eigenvalue spectrum of the Laplacian on a metric graph with arbitrary but fixed vertex conditions is investigated in the limit as the lengths of all edges decrease to zero at the same rate. It is proved that there are exactly four possible…
In this note we give a new upper bound for the Laplacian eigenvalues of an unweighted graph. Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices. Let $d_{m}(G)$ and $\lambda_{m+1}(G)$ be the $m$-th smallest degree of $G$ and the $m+1$-th smallest…
In this paper, we establish Buser type inequalities, i.e., upper bounds for eigenvalues in terms of Cheeger constants. We prove the Buser's inequality for an infinite but locally finite connected graph with Ricci curvature lower bounds.…
We give inequalities relating the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian of a graph, and its minimum and maximum degrees. The results are applied to derive new conditions for quasi-randomness of graphs.
