We prove lower bounds for the Dirichlet Laplacian on possibly unbounded domains in terms of natural geometric conditions. This is used to derive uncertainty principles for low energy functions of general elliptic second order divergence…
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 expand upon a graph theoretic set of uncertainty principles with tight bounds for difference estimators acting simultaneously in the graph domain and the frequency domain. We show that the eigenfunctions of a modified graph Laplacian and…
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…
We study the first eigenvalue of the $p-$Laplacian (with $1<p<\infty$) on a quantum graph with Dirichlet or Kirchoff boundary conditions on the nodes. We find lower and upper bounds for this eigenvalue when we prescribe the total sum of the…
We establish a sharp lower bound on the first non-trivial eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a metric graph equipped with natural (i.e., continuity and Kirchhoff) vertex conditions in terms of the diameter and the total length of the graph.…
Uncertainty principles present an important theoretical tool in signal processing, as they provide limits on the time-frequency concentration of a signal. In many real-world applications the signal domain has a complicated irregular…
We discuss Laplacians on graphs in a framework of regular Dirichlet forms. We focus on phenomena related to unboundedness of the Laplacians. This includes (failure of) essential selfadjointness, absence of essential spectrum and stochastic…
On a finite connected metric graph, we establish upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian. These bounds depend on the length, the Betti number, and the number of pendant vertices. For trees, these estimates are sharp. We also…
We introduce the the fractional Laplacian on a subgraph of a graph with Dirichlet boundary condition. For a lattice graph, we prove the upper and lower estimates for the sum of the first $k$ Dirichlet eigenvalues of the fractional…
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…
We establish an explicit maximum principle for the Dirichlet problem associated with the $p$-Laplacian ($p>1$), where the constant depends on both $p$ and the geometry of the domain. From this result we derive two main applications. First,…
We revisit the eigenvalue problem of the Dirichlet Laplacian on bounded domains in complete Riemannian manifolds. By building on classical results like Li-Yau's and Yang's inequalities, we derive upper and lower bounds for eigenvalues. For…
We consider a family of open sets $M_\epsilon$ which shrinks with respect to an appropriate parameter $\epsilon$ to a graph. Under the additional assumption that the vertex neighbourhoods are small we show that the appropriately shifted…
Simultaneous measurements of position and momentum are considered in $n$ dimensions. We find, that for a particle whose position is strictly localized in a compact domain $D\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ (spatial uncertainty) with non-empty…
We derive several upper bounds on the spectral gap of the Laplacian with standard or Dirichlet vertex conditions on compact metric graphs. In particular, we obtain estimates based on the length of a shortest cycle (girth), diameter, total…
We present a method for proving upper bounds on the eigenvalues of the graph Laplacian. A main step involves choosing an appropriate "Riemannian" metric to uniformize the geometry of the graph. In many interesting cases, the existence of…
We obtain the sharp version of the uncertainty principle recently introduced in [47], and improved by [13], relating the size of the zero set of a continuous function having zero mean and the optimal transport cost between the mass of the…
