We study spectral properties of the standard (also called Kirchhoff) Laplacian and the anti-standard (or anti-Kirchhoff) Laplacian on a finite, compact metric graph. We show that the positive eigenvalues of these two operators coincide…

We consider the discrete Laplacian $\Delta$ on the cubic lattice $\mathbb Z^d$, and deduce estimates on the group $e^{it\Delta}$ and the resolvent $(\Delta-z)^{-1}$, weighted by $\ell^q(\mathbb Z^d)$-weights for suitable $q\geq 2$. We apply…
In this article, we study $m$-order logarithmic Laplacian $\mathcal{L}_m$, which is a singular integro-differential operator with symbol $\big(2\ln |\cdot|\big)^m$ by the Fourier transform. With help of these logarithmic Laplacians, we…
We characterize positive critical Hardy weights for general Laplacians on weighted graphs. We then apply this result to fractional Laplacians on general graphs and use the characterization to identify an optimal Hardy weight under suitable…
We consider a non self-adjoint Laplacian on a directed graph with non symmetric edge weights. We give necessary conditions for this Laplacian to be sectorial. We introduce a special self-adjoint operator and compare its essential spectrum…

A number of recent papers have considered signed graph Laplacians, a generalization of the classical graph Laplacian, where the edge weights are allowed to take either sign. In the classical case, where the edge weights are all positive,…
In this paper we investigate the controllability and observability properties of a family of linear dynamical systems, whose structure is induced by the Laplacian of a grid graph. This analysis is motivated by several applications in…
The graph Laplacian is a fundamental object in the analysis of and optimization on graphs. This operator can be extended to a simplicial complex $K$ and therefore offers a way to perform ``signal processing" on $p$-(co)chains of $K$.…

Given i.i.d. observations uniformly distributed on a closed submanifold of the Euclidean space, we study higher-order generalizations of graph Laplacians, so-called Hodge Laplacians on graphs, as approximations of the Laplace-Beltrami…
This paper is concerned with the construction of discrete counterparts of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on Riemannian manifolds that can be effectively used in the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Since existing…
Here we introduce connectivity operators, namely, diffusion operators, general Laplacian operators, and general adjacency operators for hypergraphs. These operators are generalisations of some conventional notions of apparently different…

Classical spectral graph theory relies on the symmetry of the adjacency and Laplacian operators, which guarantees orthogonal eigenbases and energy-preserving Fourier transforms. However, real-world networks are intrinsically directed and…
