Coverings, Laplacians, and Heat Kernels of Directed Graphs

چکیده
Combinatorial covers of graphs were defined by Chung and Yau. Their main feature is that the spectra of the Combinatorial Laplacian of the base and the total space are related. We extend their definition to directed graphs. As an application, we compute the spectrum of the Combinatorial Laplacian of the homesick random walk RWμ on the line. Using this calculation, we show that the heat kernel on the weighted line can be computed from the heat kernel of ‘(1 + 1/μ)-regular’ tree.

Coverings, heat kernels and spanning trees
We consider a graph G and a covering G̃ of G and we study the relations of their eigenvalues and heat kernels. We evaluate the heat kernel for an infinite k-regular tree and we examine the heat kernels for general k-regular graphs. In particular, we show that a k-regular graph on n vertices has at most (1 + o(1)) 2 log n kn log k ( (k − 1)k−1 (k2 − 2k)k/2−1 )n spanning trees, which is best possi...

متن کاملLaplacians and the Cheeger inequality for directed graphs
We consider Laplacians for directed graphs and examine their eigenvalues. We introduce a notion of a circulation in a directed graph and its connection with the Rayleigh quotient. We then define a Cheeger constant and establish the Cheeger inequality for directed graphs. These relations can be used to deal with various problems that often arise in the study of non-reversible Markov chains inclu...
متن کاملCoverings, matchings and paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs
The concepts of covering and matching in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs are introduced and obtained the relationship between them analogous to Gallai’s results in graphs. The notion of paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs is also studied. The strong paired domination number γspr of complete fuzzy graph and complete bipartite fuzzy graph is determined and obtained bounds for the s...
متن کاملCritical groups of covering, voltage and signed graphs
Graph coverings are known to induce surjections of their critical groups. Here we describe the kernels of these morphisms in terms of data parametrizing the covering. Regular coverings are parametrized by voltage graphs, and the above kernel can be identified with a naturally defined voltage graph critical group. For double covers, the voltage graph is a signed graph, and the theory takes a par...
