We prove that the spectrum of the Kirchhoff Laplacian H0 of a finite simple Barycentric refined graph and the spectrum of the connection Laplacian L of G determine each other: we prove that L-L^(-1) is similar to the Hodge Laplacian H of G…

We consider the relationship between the Laplacians on two sequences of planar graphs, one from the theory of self-similar groups and one from analysis on fractals. By establishing a spectral decimation map between these sequences we give…

Let $(X,E_X)$ and $(V,E_V)$ be finite connected graphs without loops. We assume that $V$ has two distinguished vertices $a,b$ and an automorphism $\gamma$ which exchanges $a$ and~$b$. The $V$-edge substitution of $X$ is the graph $X[V]$…

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…

Our primary motivation is existence and uniqueness for the obstacle problem on graphs. That is, we look for unique solutions to the problem $Lu = \chi_{\{u>0\}}$, where $L$ is the Laplacian matrix associated to a graph, and $u$ is a…
