Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the path Laplacian

Consider the Laplacian matrix of the path graph: $$ L = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 0 & \cdots & 0 & 0\\ -1 & 2 & -1 & \cdots & 0 & 0\\ 0 & -1 & 2 & \...

Are these the only first eigenfunctions on a hemisphere?

Let $\mathbb{S}^2_+$ denote the closed upper hemisphere of the unit round sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$. It is well known that the first positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian on the closed unit sphere is $2$...

Eigenvector to zero eigenvalue of general Laplacian

I was wondering what we can say about the eigenvectors of a matrix $A$ fullfilling $Ax =0$ where $A$ is symmetric with a diagonal equal to one and every row sums up to 0. Obviously this is a ...

From one eigenvector to many, in a very local graph?

Let $\Gamma$ be an undirected graph of bounded degree $d$ with $V = \{1,2,\dotsc,N\}$ as its set of vertices, and edges only between vertices that are at a distance $\leq M$ apart (where $M$ is much ...

Density of squares of radial eigenfunctions

The eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on the disc can be written in polar coordinates as $f(r,\theta)=R_{nk}(r)e^{ik\theta}$, where $k\in\mathbb Z$ and $n\in\mathbb N$ and the radial function is $...
