For any real diagonalizable matrix with complex eigenvalues we provide a real, coordinate free decomposition with a clear geometric interpretation.
The smallest nonzero eigenvalue of the normalized Laplacian matrix of a graph has been extensively studied and shown to have many connections to properties of the graph. We here study a generalization of this eigenvalue, denoted $\lambda(G,…
A finite discrete graph is turned into a quantum (metric) graph once a finite length is assigned to each edge and the one-dimensional Laplacian is taken to be the operator. We study the dependence of the spectral gap (the first positive…
A signless Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph $G$ is called a main signless Laplacian eigenvalue if it has an eigenvector the sum of whose entries is not equal to zero. In this paper, we first give the necessary and sufficient conditions for a…

The toughness $t(G)$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is defined as $t(G)=\min\{\frac{|S|}{c(G-S)}\}$, in which the minimum is taken over all $S\subset V$ such that $G-S$ is disconnected, where $c(G-S)$ denotes the number of components of $G-S$. We…
The central theme of this paper is the holomorphic spectral theory of the canonical Laplace operator of the complement $\Omega := \{(z,w) \in \widehat{\mathbb{C}}^2 \colon z \cdot w \neq 1\}$ of the "complexified unit circle" $\{(z,w) \in…
In this paper we bring to light an unprecedented property of the eigenvalues of a matrix A with the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a submatrix of A. This property can be used, through the technique developed here, to determine some of…

Our primary motivation is existence and uniqueness for the obstacle problem on graphs. That is, we look for unique solutions to the problem $Lu = \chi_{\{u>0\}}$, where $L$ is the Laplacian matrix associated to a graph, and $u$ is a…
Given a length function on the set of edges of a finite graph, the corresponding Fujiwara Laplacian is defined. We consider a problem of maximizing the first nonzero eigenvalue of this graph Laplacian over all choices of edge-length…
Let $G$ be a simple graph, $A(G)$ its adjacency matrix, and $D(G)$ its diagonal degree matrix. In 2022, \citeauthor{Wang2020} (\cite{Wang2020}) defined the family of matrices $L_\alpha$ as the convex linear combination: \[ L_\alpha(G) =…
