Abstract
AbstractIn this chapter we start systematic studies of spectral properties of graph Laplacians—standard Laplace operators on metric graphs. Our main interest will be families of metric graphs having the same topological structure. Metric graphs from such a family correspond to the same discrete graph but the lengths of the edges may be different. Common spectral properties of such families (and hence of all metric graphs) are best described by certain multivariate low degree polynomials.
