Laplacians on Metric Graphs: Eigenvalues, Resolvents and Semigroups
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main objective of the present work is to study the negative spectrum of (differential) Laplace operators on metric graphs as well as their resolvents and associated heat semigroups. We prove an upper bound on the number of negative eigenvalues and a lower bound on the spectrum of Laplace operators. Also we provide a sufficient condition for the associated heat semigroup to be positivity preserving.

On the number of negative eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a metric graph
The number of negative eigenvalues of self adjoint Laplacians on metric graphs is calculated in terms of the boundary conditions and the underlying geometric structure. This extends and complements earlier results by Kostrykin and Schrader from [15].
متن کاملLaplacian and vibrational spectra for homogeneous graphs
A homogeneous graph is a graph together with a group which acts transitively on vertices as symmetries of the graph. We consider Laplacians of homogeneous graphs and generalizations of Laplacians whose eigenvalues can be associated with various equilibria of forces in molecules (such as vibrational modes of buckyballs). Methods are given for calculating such eigenvalues by combining concepts an...
متن کاملEigenvalue Bracketing for Discrete and Metric Graphs
We develop eigenvalue estimates for the Laplacians on discrete and metric graphs using different types of boundary conditions at the vertices of the metric graph. Via an explicit correspondence of the equilateral metric and discrete graph spectrum (also in the “exceptional” values of the metric graph corresponding to the Dirichlet spectrum) we carry over these estimates from the metric graph La...
متن کاملHigh-Ordered Random Walks and Generalized Laplacians on Hypergraphs
Despite of the extreme success of the spectral graph theory, there are relatively few papers applying spectral analysis to hypergraphs. Chung first introduced Laplacians for regular hypergraphs and showed some useful applications. Other researchers treated hypergraphs as weighted graphs and then studied the Laplacians of the corresponding weighted graphs. In this paper, we aim to unify these ve...
متن کاملOn the Spectral Gap for Laplacians on Metric Graphs
This note will describe some of recent developments in the spectral theory of quantum graphs. More precisely, we are going to discuss the spectral gap the distance between two lowest eigenvalues for the Laplace operator on metric graphs in connection to geometric and topological properties of the underlying graphs. Our approach can be generalized further to include Schrödinger operators with no...
