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…

We consider the problem of finding universal bounds of "isoperimetric" or "isodiametric" type on the spectral gap of the Laplacian on a metric graph with natural boundary conditions at the vertices, in terms of various analytical and…

Graphs with diverse structural characteristics play a central role in modelling and optimization tasks. The ability to generate different types of graphs that exhibit shared properties is likewise essential for algorithm selection and…

We conjecture a new lower bound on the algebraic connectivity of a graph that involves the number of vertices of high eccentricity in a graph. We prove that this lower bound implies a strengthening of the Laplacian Spread Conjecture. We…

In this note we give a new upper bound for the Laplacian eigenvalues of an unweighted graph. Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices. Let $d_{m}(G)$ and $\lambda_{m+1}(G)$ be the $m$-th smallest degree of $G$ and the $m+1$-th smallest…

We define, for any graph $G=(V,E)$, a boundary $\partial G \subseteq V$. The definition coincides with what one would expected for the discretization of (sufficiently nice) Euclidean domains and contains all vertices from the…

Motivated by discrete Laplacian differential operators with various accuracy orders in numerical analysis, we introduce new matrices attached to a simple graph that can be considered graph Laplacians with higher accuracy. In particular, we…

We introduce a new version of a curvature-dimension inequality for non-negative curvature. We use this inequality to prove a logarithmic Li-Yau inequality on finite graphs. To formulate this inequality, we introduce a non-linear variant of…

Inspired by the notion of action convergence in graph limit theory, we introduce a measure-theoretic representation of matrices, and we use it to define a new notion of pseudo-metric on the space of matrices. Moreover, we show that such…

We survey recent results on graphs and their Laplacians related to the behavior of the graph at large. In particular, we focus on Liouville theorems, recurrence and characterizations of Dirichlet forms via boundary terms.
