Let G be a graph on n vertices. The Laplacian matrix of G, denoted by L(G), is defined as L(G) = D(G) - A(G), where A(G) is the adjacency matrix of G and D(G) is the diagonal matrix of the vertex degrees of G. A graph G is said to be…
We introduce a concept of isoperimetric dimension for magnetic graphs, that is, graphs where every edge is assigned a complex number of modulus one. In analogy with the classical case, we show that isoperimetric inequalities imply Sobolev…
Let $G$ be a connected non-bipartite graph on $n$ vertices with domination number $\gamma \le \frac{n+1}{3}$. We investigate the least eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian of $G$, and present a lower bound for such eigenvalue in terms of…

Edge-weighted graphs play an important role in the theory of Robinsonian matrices and similarity theory, particularly via the concept of level graphs, that is, graphs obtained from an edge-weighted graph by removing all sufficiently light…

It is known that up to certain pathologies, a compact metric graph with standard vertex conditions has a Baire-generic set of choices of edge lengths such that all Laplacian eigenvalues are simple and have eigenfunctions that do not vanish…
The smallest nonzero eigenvalue of the normalized Laplacian matrix of a graph has been extensively studied and shown to have many connections to properties of the graph. We here study a generalization of this eigenvalue, denoted $\lambda(G,…
A chain of quantum subgroups of the quantum automorphism group of finite graphs has been introduced. It generalizes the construction of J. Bichon (see [3]) in a sense. A better bound of the non zero eigenvalues of the graph Laplacian has…
Given a simple graph $G$, its Laplacian-energy-like invariant $LEL(G)$ and incidence energy $IE(G)$ are the sum of square root of its all Laplacian eigenvalues and signless Laplacian eigenvalues, respectively. Applying the Cauchy-Schwarz…
We study the discrete Gel'fand's inverse boundary spectral problem of determining a finite weighted graph. Suppose that the set of vertices of the graph is a union of two disjoint sets: $X=B\cup G$, where $B$ is called the set of the…
For a finite graph, we establish natural isomorphisms between eigenspaces of a Laplace operator acting on functions on the edges and eigenspaces of a transfer operator acting on functions on one-sided infinite non-backtracking paths.…
Point signatures based on the Laplacian operators on graphs, point clouds, and manifolds have become popular tools in machine learning for graphs, clustering, and shape analysis. In this work, we propose a novel point signature, the power…

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 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…
Representing graphs as quantum states is becoming an increasingly important approach to study entanglement of mixed states, alternate to the standard linear algebraic density matrix-based approach of study. In this paper, we propose a…
