In this paper we will establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a Laplace-Carleson embedding to be bounded for certain spaces of functions on the positive half-line. We will use these results to characterise weighted (infinite-time)…

This paper contains the proofs of Theorems 2 and 3 of the article entitled Random Electrical Networks on Complete Graphs, written by the same authors and published in the Journal of the London Mathematical Society, vol. 30 (1984), pp.…

We develop the theory of torsional rigidity -- a quantity routinely considered for Dirichlet Laplacians on bounded planar domains -- for Laplacians on metric graphs with at least one Dirichlet vertex. Using a variational characterization…

For a shift-invariant weighted directed graph with vertex set $\mathbb{Z}$, we examine the minimal weight $\kappa_0$ exiting a finite, strongly connected set of vertices. Although $\kappa_0$ is defined as an infimum, it has been shown that…

The construction presented in this paper can be briefly described as follows: starting from any "finite-dimensional" Markov transition function p_t, on a measurable state space (E,B), we construct a strong Markov process on a certain…

A k-edge-weighting of a graph G is a function w: E(G)->{1,2,...,k}. An edge-weighting naturally induces a vertex coloring c, where for every vertex v in V(G), c(v) is sum of weights of the edges that are adjacent to vertex v. If the induced…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be the class of bounded measurable symmetric functions on $[0,1]^2$. For a function $h \in \mathcal{H}$ and a graph $G$ with vertex set $\{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$ and edge set $E(G)$, define \[ t_G(h) \; = \; \int \cdots \int…

We introduce a new class of countably infinite random geometric graphs, whose vertices are points in a metric space, and vertices are adjacent independently with probability p if the metric distance between the vertices is below a given…

The directions of an infinite graph $G$ are a tangle-like description of its ends: they are choice functions that choose compatibly for all finite vertex sets $X\subseteq V(G)$ a component of $G-X$. Although every direction is induced by a…

We define a potential-weighted connective constant that measures the effective strength of a repulsive pair potential of a Gibbs point process modulated by the geometry of the underlying space. We then show that this definition leads to…

In this paper we consider pushdown graphs, i.e. infinite graphs that can be described as transition graphs of deterministic real-time pushdown automata. We consider the case where some vertices are designated as being final and we built, in…

We study the problem of estimating the value function of discrete-time switched systems under arbitrary switching. Unlike the switched LQR problem, where both inputs and mode sequences are optimized, we consider the case where switching is…

For a graph $G=(V, E)$ and $i, j\in V$, denote the distance between $i$ and $j$ in $G$ by $D(i, j)$ and the degrees of $i$, $j$ by $d_i$, $d_j$, respectively. Let $f(D(i, j), d_{i}, d_{j})$ be a function symmetric in $i$ and $j$. Define a…

A connected undirected graph $G = (V,E)$ is lower conformally rigid if uniform edge weights maximize the second smallest Laplacian eigenvalue $\lambda_2(w)$ over all normalized edge weights $w$, and upper conformally rigid if uniform edge…

Let $\Gamma=(V,E)$ be a finite simple graph. A matching $M \subseteq E$ is positive if there exists a weight function on $V$ such that the matching $M$ is characterized by those edges with positive weights. A positive matching decomposition…

Assessing and improving the robustness of a graph $G$ are critical steps in network design and analysis. To this end, we consider the optimisation problem of removing $k$ edges from $G$ such that the resulting graph has minimal robustness,…

We establish an abstract local ergodic theorem, under suitable space-time scaling, for the (boundary-driven) symmetric exclusion process on an increasing sequence of balls covering an infinite weighted graph. The proofs are based on 1-block…

We develop a generalized resistance geometry based on Kron reduction and effective resistance for directed graphs, paralleling classical undirected graph theory. For strongly connected directed graphs, we prove a Fiedler--Bapat identity…
