Spectral analysis of metric graphs with infinite rays


Abstract

We conduct a detailed analysis for finite metric graphs that have a semi-infinite chain (a ray) attached to each vertex. We show that the adjacency matrix of such a graph gives rise to a selfadjoint operator that is unitary equivalent to a direct sum of a finite number of simplest Jacobi matrices. This permitted to describe spectrums of such operators and to explicitly construct an eigenvector decomposition.

Key words: Metric graphs, adjacency matrix, Jacobi matrix, spectral analysis
