We study a formulation of Burgers equation on the Sierpinski gasket, which is the prototype of a p.c.f. self-similar fractal. One possibility is to implement Burgers equation as a semilinear heat equation associated with the Laplacian for…
In this paper, we focus on Strichartz's derivatives, a family of derivatives including the normal derivative, on p.c.f. (post critically finite) fractals, which are defined at vertex points in the graphs that approximate the fractal. We…
Nowadays a great attention has been focused on the discrete fractional Laplace operator as the natural counterpart of the continuous one. In this paper, we discretize the fractional Laplace operator $(-\Delta)^{s}$ for an arbitrary finite…
In 1993, Robert Strichartz established a characterization for bounded eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Let $\left\{f_k \right\}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}$ be a doubly infinite sequence of functions on $\mathbb{R}^d$ satisfying…
In these notes we study the Dirichlet problem for critical points of a convex functional of the form \[ F(u)=\int_{\Omega}\phi\left( \left\vert \nabla u\right\vert \right) , \] where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain of a complete Riemannian…
We consider a Laplacian on periodic discrete graphs. Its spectrum consists of a finite number of bands. In a class of periodic 1-forms, i.e., functions defined on edges of the periodic graph, we introduce a subclass of minimal forms with a…
We revisit the problem of characterizing the eigenvalue distribution of the Dirichlet-Laplacian on bounded open sets $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}$ with fractal boundaries. It is well-known from the results of Lapidus and Pomerance \cite{LapPo1}…
Differential operators acting on functions defined on graphs by different studies do not form a consistent framework for the analysis of real or complex functions in the sense that they do not satisfy the Leibniz rule of any order. In this…
We use form methods to define suitable realisations of the Laplacian on a domain $\Omega$ with Wentzell boundary conditions, i.e. such that $\partial_{\mathrm{n}}u + \beta u + \Delta u = 0$ holds in a suitable sense on the boundary of…
Recently, much of the existing work in manifold learning has been done under the assumption that the data is sampled from a manifold without boundaries and singularities or that the functions of interest are evaluated away from such points.…
We establish conditions for which graph Laplacians $\Delta_{\lambda,\epsilon}$ on compact, boundaryless, smooth submanifolds $\mathcal{M}$ of Euclidean space are semiclassical pseudodifferential operators ($\Psi$DOs): essentially, that the…
It is shown that for each finite number of Dirac measures supported at points $s_n$ in three-dimensional Euclidean space, with given amplitudes $a_n$, there exists a unique real-valued Lipschitz function $u$, vanishing at infinity, which…
We study the analogue of polynomials (solutions to $\Delta^{n+1} u =0$ for some $n$) on the Sierpinski gasket ($SG$) with respect to a family of symmetric, self-similar Laplacians constructed by Fang, King, Lee, and Strichartz, extending…
This paper presents a new formulation of the fractional Laplacian operator $(-\Delta)^s$ in $n$-dimensional space ($n \ge 1$). The proposed formulation expresses $(-\Delta)^s$ as a composition of the classical Laplace differential operator…
It is well-known that the fundamental solution of $$ u_t(n,t)= u(n+1,t)-2u(n,t)+u(n-1,t), \quad n\in\mathbb{Z}, $$ with $u(n,0) =\delta_{nm}$ for every fixed $m \in\mathbb{Z}$, is given by $u(n,t) = e^{-2t}I_{n-m}(2t)$, where $I_k(t)$ is…
The graph Laplacian is a fundamental object in the analysis of and optimization on graphs. This operator can be extended to a simplicial complex $K$ and therefore offers a way to perform ``signal processing" on $p$-(co)chains of $K$.…
Let $K$ be a p.c.f. self-similar set equipped with a strongly recurrent Dirichlet form. Under a homogeneity assumption, for an open set $\Omega\subset K$ whose boundary $\partial \Omega$ is a graph-directed self-similar set, we prove that…
We study a quantum Hamiltonian that is given by the (negative) Laplacian and an infinite chain of $\delta$-like potentials with strength $\kappa>0$ on the half line $\rz_{\geq0}$ and which is equivalent to a one-parameter family of…
The set $S_{i,n}=\{0,1,2,\ldots,n-1,n\}\setminus\{i\}$, $1\leqslant i\leqslant n$ is called Laplacian realizable if there exists an undirected simple graph whose Laplacian spectrum is $S_{i,n}$. The existence of such graphs was established…
A fractafold, a space that is locally modeled on a specified fractal, is the fractal equivalent of a manifold. For compact fractafolds based on the Sierpinski gasket, it was shown by the first author how to compute the discrete spectrum of…
