Analysis of the Dispersion Equation for the Schr"odinger Operator on Periodic Metric Graphs

V.L. Oleinik, B.S. Pavlov, and N.V. Sibirev

Abstract

The spectral analysis of the Schr"odinger operator on cubic lattice type graphs is developed. Similarly to the quantum mechanical tight-binding approximation, using the well known conception of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map asymptotic formulae for localized negative spectral bands of the Schr"odinger operator on a periodic metric graph are established. The results are illustrated by numerical calculations.

Keywords
