We define a discrete Laplace-Beltrami operator for simplicial surfaces. It depends only on the intrinsic geometry of the surface and its edge weights are positive. Our Laplace operator is similar to the well known finite-elements Laplacian…
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 on general countable weighted simplicial complexes from a conceptual point of view. These operators will first be introduced formally before showing that those formal operators coincide with self-adjoint realizations of…

Our goal in this paper is to find an estimate for the spectral gap of the Laplacian on a 2-simplicial complex consisting on a triangulation of a complete graph. An upper estimate is given by generalizing the Cheeger constant. The lower…
Discrete Lagrangian Systems on graphs are considered. Vector-valued closed differential 2-form on the space of solutions is constructed. This form takes values in the first homology group of the graph. This construction generalizes the…
