Laplacian Eigenvectors of Graphs

Download or read book Laplacian Eigenvectors of Graphs written by Türker Biyikoglu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-07-07 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating volume investigates the structure of eigenvectors and looks at the number of their sign graphs ("nodal domains"), Perron components, and graphs with extremal properties with respect to eigenvectors. The Rayleigh quotient and rearrangement of graphs form the main methodology. Eigenvectors of graph Laplacians may seem a surprising topic for a book, but the authors show that there are subtle differences between the properties of solutions of Schrödinger equations on manifolds on the one hand, and their discrete analogs on graphs.
