In a previous publication [1], local gauge invariant geometric variables were introduced to describe the physical Hilbert space of Yang-Mills theory. In these variables, the electric energy involves the inverse of an operator which can…
On a finite connected metric graph, we establish upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian. These bounds depend on the length, the Betti number, and the number of pendant vertices. For trees, these estimates are sharp. We also…
We study the set of intrinsic metrics on a given graph. This is a convex compact set and it carries a natural order. We investigate existence of largest elements with respect to this order. We show that the only locally finite graphs which…
In these paper we study the adjacency matrix of some infinite graphs, which we call the shift operator on the $L^p$ space of the graph. In particular, we establish norm estimates, we find the norm for some cases, we decide the triviality of…
We consider a magnetic Laplacian with periodic magnetic potentials on periodic discrete graphs. Its spectrum consists of a finite number of bands, where degenerate bands are eigenvalues of infinite multiplicity. We obtain a specific…
This paper deals with spectral graph theory issues related to questions of monotonicity and comparison of eigenvalues. We consider finite directed graphs with non symmetric edge weights and we introduce a special self-adjoint operator as…
Eigenmaps are important in analysis, geometry, and machine learning, especially in nonlinear dimension reduction. Approximation of the eigenmaps of a Laplace operator depends crucially on the scaling parameter $\epsilon$. If $\epsilon$ is…
In this dissertation, we explore the structure of inversion graphs of permutations--a class of graphs that naturally arises by representing each permutation as a graph, where vertices correspond to entries and edges encode inversions.…
Contraction analysis establishes exponential incremental convergence of a nonlinear system by solving a linear matrix inequality for a contraction metric, and has become a standard resource for solving problems in nonlinear control and…
Let $M$ be a compact connected manifold of dimension $n$ endowed with a conformal class $C$ of Riemannian metrics of volume one. For any integer $k\geq0$, we consider the conformal invariant $\lambda_k ^c (C)$ defined as the supremum of the…
We construct harmonic functions in the quarter plane for discrete Laplace operators. In particular, the functions are conditioned to vanish on the boundary and the Laplacians admit coefficients associated with transition probabilities of…
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…
Given a unitary representation U of a compact group G and a transitive G-space $\Omega$, we characterize the extremal elements of the convex set of all U-covariant positive operator valued measures.
The main goal of this paper is to build a measurable analogue to the theory of weighted networks on infinite graphs. Our basic setting is an infinite $\sigma$-finite measure space $(V, \mathcal B, \mu)$ and a symmetric measure $\rho$ on…
This paper develops new extremal principles of variational analysis that are motivated by applications to constrained problems of stochastic programming and semi-infinite programming without smoothness and/or convexity assumptions. These…
We classify translatively exponential and GL(2,Z) covariant valuations on lattice polygons valued at measurable real functions. A typical example of such valuations is induced by the Laplace transform, but as it turns out there are many…
We survey recent advances in the theory of graph and hypergraph decompositions, with a focus on extremal results involving minimum degree conditions. We also collect a number of intriguing open problems, and formulate new ones.
Several invariants of polarized metrized graphs and their applications in Arithmetic Geometry are studied recently. In this paper, we give fast algorithms to compute these invariants by expressing them in terms of the discrete Laplacian…
We consider a class of piecewise smooth one-dimensional maps with critical points and singularities (possibly with infinite derivative). Under mild summability conditions on the growth of the derivative on critical orbits, we prove the…
We set up a new framework to study critical points of functionals defined as combinations of eigenvalues of operators with respect to a given set of parameters: Riemannian metrics, potentials, etc. Our setting builds upon Clarke's…
