Graph Laplacians on finite compact metric graphs are considered under the assumption that the matching conditions at the graph vertices are of either $\delta$ or $\delta'$ type. In either case, an infinite series of trace formulae which…

We discuss a class of problems which we call lattice exit models. At one level, these problems provide undergraduate level exercises in labeling the vertices of graphs (e.g., depth first search). At another level (theorems about large scale…
The status of topology on the lattice is reviewed. Recent results show that the topological susceptibility chi can be unambigously determined. Different methods, if properly implemented, give results consistent with each other. For SU(3)…
In this short note we discuss ordinary differential equations which linearize upon one (or more) differentiations. Although the subject is fairly elementary, equations of this type arise naturally in the context of integrable systems.
In this paper, we investigate the existence of multiple periodic solutions for two classes of nonlinear difference systems involving $(\phi_1,\phi_2)$-Laplacian. First, by using an important critical point theorem due to B. Ricceri, we…
