For a given infinite connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and an arbitrary but fixed conductance function $c$, we study an associated graph Laplacian $\Delta_{c}$; it is a generalized difference operator where the differences are measured across the…

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 number of recent papers have considered signed graph Laplacians, a generalization of the classical graph Laplacian, where the edge weights are allowed to take either sign. In the classical case, where the edge weights are all positive,…
