We consider the difference between the two lowest eigenvalues (the fundamental gap) of a Schr\"{o}dinger operator acting on a class of graphs. In particular, we derive tight bounds for the gap of Schr\"{o}dinger operators with convex…

The spectrum of a Schr\"odinger operator with periodic potential generally consists of bands and gaps. In this paper, for fixed m, we consider the problem of maximizing the gap-to-midgap ratio for the m-th spectral gap over the class of…

We address the question of convergence of Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs with general self-adjoint vertex conditions as lengths of some of graph's edges shrink to zero. We determine the limiting operator and study convergence in a…

In contrast to the usual quantum systems which have at most a finite number of open spectral gaps if they are periodic in more than one direction, periodic quantum graphs may have gaps arbitrarily high in the spectrum. This property of…

For Schr\"odinger operators on an interval with either convex or symmetric single-well potentials, and Robin or Neumann boundary conditions, the gap between the two lowest eigenvalues is minimised when the potential is constant. We also…

We prove a quantum-ergodicity theorem on large graphs, for eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger operators in a very general setting. We consider a sequence of finite graphs endowed with discrete Schr\"odinger operators, assumed to have a local…

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…
