On finite metric graphs the set of all realizations of the Laplace operator in the edgewise defined $L^2$-spaces are studied. These are defined by coupling boundary conditions at the vertices most of which define non-self-adjoint operators.…

Many physics problems have $J(x)=L(x)E(x)+h(x)$, source $h(x)$, fields $E$,$J$ satisfying differential constraints, symbolized by $E\in\cal E$,$J\in\cal J$ where $\cal E$,$\cal J$ are orthogonal spaces. If $L(x)$ takes values in certain…
