We consider the real eigenfunctions of the Schr\"odinger operator on graphs, and count their nodal domains. The number of nodal domains fluctuates within an interval whose size equals the number of bonds $B$. For well connected graphs, with…

We prove that every metric graph which is a tree has an orthonormal sequence of Laplace-eigenfunctions of full support. This implies that the number of nodal domains $\nu_n$ of the $n$-th eigenfunction of the Laplacian with standard…
