We prove upper and lower bounds for the number of zeroes of linear combinations of Schr\"odinger eigenfunctions on metric (quantum) graphs. These bounds are distinct from both the interval and manifolds. We complement these bounds by giving…

A finite discrete graph is turned into a quantum (metric) graph once a finite length is assigned to each edge and the one-dimensional Laplacian is taken to be the operator. We study the dependence of the spectral gap (the first positive…

We study the location of the spectrum of the Laplacian on compact metric graphs with complex Robin-type vertex conditions, also known as $\delta$ conditions, on some or all of the graph vertices. We classify the eigenvalue asymptotics as…

This paper is devoted to the Neumann-Kirchhoff Laplacian on a finite metric graph. We prove an index theorem relating the nodal deficiency of an eigenfunction with (1) the Morse index of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, (2) its positive index…

We develop a Logvinenko--Sereda theory for one-dimensional vector-valued self-adjoint operators. We thus deliver upper bounds on $L^2$-norms of eigenfunctions -- and linear combinations thereof -- in terms of their $L^2$- and…

Let $d\geq1$, $\Omega$ be a bounded domain of a smooth complete Riemannian d-manifold M, and $\mu$ be a positive finite Borel measure with compact support in $\overline{\Omega}$. We prove the Courant nodal domain theorem for the…

We show the existence of planar domains with one hole for which the first non-trivial Neumann eigenfunction has a closed nodal line fully contained inside the domain. This is optimal, as it is known since Pleijel's 1956 result that the…

In this paper we show that all nodes can be found optimally for almost all random Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi ${\mathcal G}(n,p)$ graphs using continuous-time quantum spatial search procedure. This works for both adjacency and Laplacian matrices,…

We prove a pointwise ergodic theorem for quasi-probability-measure-preserving (quasi-pmp) locally countable measurable graphs, equivalently, Schreier graphs of quasi-pmp actions of countable groups. For ergodic graphs, the theorem gives an…

We construct models of many-particle quantum graphs with singular two-particle contact interactions, which can be either hardcore- or delta-interactions. Self-adjoint realisations of the two-particle Laplacian including such interactions…

We introduce the weighted graph Laplacian and the notion of Schr\"odinger operator on a locally finite weighted graph. Concerning essential self-adjointness, we extend Wojciechowski's and Dodziuk's results for graphs with vertex constant…

In this paper we study two classes of graphs, the (m,k)-stars and l-dependent graphs, investigating the relation between spectrum characteristics and graph structure: conditions on the topology and edge weights are given in order to get…

We discuss Neumann problems for self-adjoint Laplacians on (possibly infinite) graphs. Under the assumption that the heat semigroup is ultracontractive we discuss the unique solvability for non-empty subgraphs with respect to the vertex…

The work in this thesis concerns the investigation of eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix, normalized Laplacian matrix, signless Laplacian matrix and distance signless Laplacian matrix of graphs. In Chapter 1, we present a brief…

We prove spectral localization for infinite metric graphs with a self-adjoint Laplace operator and a random potential. To do so we adapt the multiscale analysis (MSA) from the R^d-case to metric graphs. In the MSA a covering of the graph is…

We consider a family of non-compact manifolds $X_\eps$ (``graph-like manifolds'') approaching a metric graph $X_0$ and establish convergence results of the related natural operators, namely the (Neumann) Laplacian $\laplacian {X_\eps}$ and…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^d\,, d\geq 2$, be a bounded open set, and denote by $\lambda\_j(\Omega), j\geq 1$, the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian arranged in nondecreasing order, with multiplicities. The weak form of Pleijel's…

We present a systematic collection of spectral surgery principles for the Laplacian on a metric graph with any of the usual vertex conditions (natural, Dirichlet or $\delta$-type), which show how various types of changes of a local or…

We introduce an abstract framework for the study of clustering in metric graphs: after suitably metrising the space of graph partitions, we restrict Laplacians to the clusters thus arising and use their spectral gaps to define several…

Motivated by the problem of understanding theoretical bounds for the performance of the Belkin-Niyogi Laplacian eigencoordinate approach to dimension reduction in machine learning problems, we consider the convergence of random graph…
