We consider the dynamics on a quantum graph as the limit of the dynamics generated by a one-particle Hamiltonian in R^2 with a potential having a deep strict minimum on the graph, when the width of the well shrinks to zero. For a generic…

We consider the spectral structure of indefinite second order boundary-value problems on graphs. A variational formulation for such boundary-value problems on graphs is given and we obtain both full and half-range completeness results. This…

Quantum graphs are defined by having a Laplacian defined on the edges of a metric graph with boundary conditions on each vertex such that the resulting operator, $\mathbf{L}$, is self-adjoint. We use Neumann boundary conditions although we…

We consider the inverse scattering on the quantum graph associated with the hexagonal lattice. Assuming that the potentials on the edges are compactly supported, we show that the S-matrix for all energies in any open set in the continuous…

We consider a non-compact Riemannian periodic manifold such that the corresponding Laplacian has a spectral gap. By continuously perturbing the periodic metric locally we can prove the existence of eigenvalues in a gap. A lower bound on the…

We investigate the controllability of an infinite-dimensional quantum system: a quantum particle confined on a Thick Quantum Graph, a generalisation of Quantum Graphs whose edges are allowed to be manifolds of arbitrary dimension with…

A vertex $v \in V(G)$ is called $\lambda$-main if it belongs to a star set $X \subset V(G)$ of the eigenvalue $\lambda$ of a graph $G$ and this eigenvalue is main for the graph obtained from $G$ by deleting all the vertices in $X \setminus…

In this work, we obtain the first upper bound on the multiplicity of Laplacian eigenvalues for negatively curved surfaces which is sublinear in the genus g. Our proof relies on a trace argument for the heat kernel, and on the idea of…

We prove a quantitative uncertainty principle at low energies for the Laplacian on fairly general weighted graphs with a uniform explicit control of the constants in terms of geometric quantities. A major step consists in establishing lower…

We show that any second eigenfunction of the Laplacian with standard vertex conditions on a metric tree graph attains its extremal values only at degree one vertices, and give an example where these vertices do not realise the diameter of…

Using our previously published algorithm, we analyze the eigenvectors of the generalized Laplacian for two metric graphs occurring in practical applications. As expected, localization of an eigenvector is rare and the network should be…

Let $G$ be a graph, and let $\lambda(G)$ denote the smallest eigenvalue of $G$. First, we provide an upper bound for $\lambda(G)$ based on induced bipartite subgraphs of $G$. Consequently, we extract two other upper bounds, one relying on…

Given a length function on the set of edges of a finite graph, the corresponding Fujiwara Laplacian is defined. We consider a problem of maximizing the first nonzero eigenvalue of this graph Laplacian over all choices of edge-length…

We consider weighted graphs with an infinite set of vertices. We show that boundedness of all functions of finite energy can be seen as a notion of `relative compactness' for such graphs and study sufficient and necessary conditions for…

We study topological Poincar\'e type inequalities on general graphs. We characterize graphs satisfying such inequalities and then turn to the best constants in these inequalities. Invoking suitable metrics we can interpret these constants…

We study the spectral determinant of the Laplacian on finite graphs characterized by their number of vertices V and of bonds B. We present a path integral derivation which leads to two equivalent expressions of the spectral determinant of…

We give some new bounds for the clique and independence numbers of a graph in terms of its eigenvalues.

We consider a family of open sets $M_\epsilon$ which shrinks with respect to an appropriate parameter $\epsilon$ to a graph. Under the additional assumption that the vertex neighbourhoods are small we show that the appropriately shifted…

It is known that, for an oriented hypergraph with (vertex) coloring number $\chi$ and smallest and largest normalized Laplacian eigenvalues $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_N$, respectively, the inequality $\chi\geq…
