The Friedrichs extension of the energy Laplacian | Palle E. T. Jorgensen

30 Mar 2011 | Abstract: | We study Laplace operators on infinite networks $(G,c)$, and their
self-adjoint extensions. We consider the Laplacian $Delta$ as on operator on
$ell^2(G)$ and as an operator on the Hilbert space $mathcal{H}_mathcal{E}$
of finite energy functions on $G$, focusing on the case when $Delta$ is
unbounded. It is known that $Delta$ is essentially self-adjoint on its natural
domain in $ell^2(G)$, but that it is emph{not} essentially self-adjoint on
its natural domain in $mathcal{H}_mathcal{E}$. We characterize the Friedrichs
extension of the energy Laplacian on $mathcal{H}_mathcal{E}$ in terms of the
Laplacian on $ell^2(G)$ and show that the spectral measures of the Laplacian
on $ell^2(G)$ and the Friedrichs extension on $mathcal{H}_mathcal{E}$ are
mutually absolutely continuous with Radon-Nikodym derivative $lambda$ (the
spectral parameter). We give a formula for its computation and derive a number
of spectral-theoretic conclusions, including applications to the effective
resistance on $(G,c)$. | Source: | arXiv, 1103.5792 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
