We study the discrete version of the $p$-Laplacian. Based on its variational properties we discuss some features of the associated parabolic problem. Our approach allows us in turn to obtain interesting information about positivity and…

There are two main notions of a Laplacian operator associated with graphs: discrete graph Laplacians and continuous Laplacians on metric graphs (widely known as quantum graphs). Both objects have a venerable history as they are related to…

We study Laplacians associated to a graph and single out a class of such operators with special regularity properties. In the case of locally finite graphs, this class consists of all selfadjoint, non-negative restrictions of the standard…

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…

We establish several new relations between the discrete transition operator, the continuous Laplacian and the averaging operator associated with combinatorial and metric graphs. It is shown that these operators can be expressed through each…

We consider Laplacians on $\Z^2$-periodic discrete graphs. The following results are obtained: 1) The Floquet-Bloch decomposition is constructed and basic properties are derived. 2) The estimates of the Lebesgue measure of the spectrum in…

On a periodic planar graph whose edge weights satisfy a certain simple geometric condition, the discrete Laplacian and d-bar operators have the property that their determinants and inverses only depend on the local geometry of the graph. We…

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 seek solutions $u\in\R^n$ to the semilinear elliptic partial difference equation $-Lu + f_s(u) = 0$, where $L$ is the matrix corresponding to the Laplacian operator on a graph $G$ and $f_s$ is a one-parameter family of nonlinear…

We study an elliptic differential operator A on a manifold with conic points. Assuming A to be defined on the smooth functions supported away from the singularities, we first address the question of possible closed extensions of A to L^p…

We consider a non self-adjoint Laplacian on a directed graph with non symmetric edge weights. We give necessary conditions for this Laplacian to be sectorial. We introduce a special self-adjoint operator and compare its essential spectrum…

Motivated by discrete Laplacian differential operators with various accuracy orders in numerical analysis, we introduce new matrices attached to a simple graph that can be considered graph Laplacians with higher accuracy. In particular, we…

For a finite not necessarily compact metric graph, one considers the differential expression $-\frac{d^2}{d x^2}$ on each edge. The boundary conditions at the vertices of the graph yielding quasi-m-accretive as well as m-accretive operators…

Classical spectral graph theory relies on the symmetry of the adjacency and Laplacian operators, which guarantees orthogonal eigenbases and energy-preserving Fourier transforms. However, real-world networks are intrinsically directed and…

Graph Laplacians computed from weighted adjacency matrices are widely used to identify geometric structure in data, and clusters in particular; their spectral properties play a central role in a number of unsupervised and semi-supervised…

We study elliptic and parabolic problems governed by the singular elliptic operators $$ \mathcal L=y^{\alpha_1}\mbox{Tr }\left(QD^2_x\right)+2y^{\frac{\alpha_1+\alpha_2}{2}}q\cdot \nabla_xD_y+\gamma y^{\alpha_2}…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of oriented faces especially triangles in a connected oriented locally finite graph. This framework then permits to define the Laplace operator on this structure of the 2-simplicial complex. We develop…

The main goal of this paper is to build a measurable analogue to the theory of weighted networks on infinite graphs. Our basic setting is an infinite $\sigma$-finite measure space $(V, \mathcal B, \mu)$ and a symmetric measure $\rho$ on…
