It has been suggested that the distribution of the suitably normalized number of zeros of Laplacian eigenfunctions contains information about the geometry of the underlying domain. We study this distribution (more precisely, the…
In this thesis, we study Laplacian eigenfunctions on metric graphs, also known as quantum graphs. We restrict the discussion to standard quantum graphs. These are finite connected metric graphs with functions that satisfy Neumann vertex…
We study the nodal count of the so-called bi-dendral graphs and show that it exhibits an anomaly: the nodal surplus is never equal to 0 or $\beta$, the first Betti number of the graph. According to the nodal-magnetic theorem, this means…
We establish a connection between the stability of an eigenvalue under a magnetic perturbation and the number of zeros of the corresponding eigenfunction. Namely, we consider an eigenfunction of discrete Laplacian on a graph and count the…
The nodal edge count of an eigenvector of the Laplacian of a graph is the number of edges on which it changes sign. This quantity extends to any real symmetric $n\times n$ matrix supported on a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. The average nodal…
Given a discrete Schr\"odinger operator $h$ on a finite connected graph $G$ of $n$ vertices, the nodal count $\phi(h,k)$ denotes the number of edges on which the $k$-th eigenvector changes sign. A {\em signing} $h'$ of $h$ is any real…
Let $G$ be a simple, connected graph on $n$ vertices, and further assume that $G$ has disjoint cycles. Let $h$ be a real symmetric matrix supported on $G$ (for example, a discrete Schr\"odinger operator). The eigenvalues of $h$ are ordered…
In this article, we illustrate and draw connections between the geometry of zero sets of eigenfunctions, graph theory and the vanishing order of eigenfunctions. We identify the nodal set of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian (with smooth…
We establish metric graph counterparts of Pleijel's theorem on the asymptotics of the number of nodal domains $\nu_n$ of the $n$-th eigenfunction(s) of a broad class of operators on compact metric graphs, including Schr\"odinger operators…
We consider families of finite quantum graphs of increasing size and we are interested in how eigenfunctions are distributed over the graph. As a measure for the distribution of an eigenfunction on a graph we introduce the entropy, it has…
We investigate the nodal count of eigenvectors of random matrices interpreted as operators on signed complete graphs. Our focus is on orthogonally invariant ensembles, with particular attention to the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE). We…
We introduce a notion of a sheaf of vector spaces on a graph, and develop the foundations of homology theories for such sheaves. One sheaf invariant, its "maximum excess," has a number of remarkable properties. It has a simple definition,…
This paper is devoted to the Neumann-Kirchhoff Laplacian on a finite metric graph. We prove an index theorem relating the nodal deficiency of an eigenfunction with (1) the Morse index of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, (2) its positive index…
Symmetric matrices with zero row sums occur in many theoretical settings and in real-life applications. When the offdiagonal elements of such matrices are i.i.d. random variables and the matrices are large, the eigenvalue distributions…
The nodal set of the Laplacian eigenfunction has co-dimension one and has finite hypersurface measure on a compact Riemannian manifold. In this paper, we investigate the distribution of the nodal sets of eigenfunctions, when the metric on…
In an attempt to characterize the structure of eigenvectors of random regular graphs, we investigate the correlations between the components of the eigenvectors associated to different vertices. In addition, we provide numerical…
Courant theorem provides an upper bound for the number of nodal domains of eigenfunctions of a wide class of Laplacian-type operators. In particular, it holds for generic eigenfunctions of quantum graph. The theorem stipulates that, after…
We consider the real eigenfunctions of the Schr\"odinger operator on graphs, and count their nodal domains. The number of nodal domains fluctuates within an interval whose size equals the number of bonds $B$. For well connected graphs, with…
It is shown that the topologies and nestings of the zero and nodal sets of random (Gaussian) band limited functions have universal laws of distribution. Qualitative features of the supports of these distributions are determined. In…
