The full-support eigenfunction conjecture for compact metric graphs
The full-support eigenfunction conjecture for compact metric graphs
Let be a compact, connected metric graph. The Laplacian on has natural vertex conditions, and an eigenfunction is said to have full support if it does not vanish identically on any edge. For an eigenfunction , let denote the total length of the edges on which it is not identically zero, and let be the total length of the graph.
Full-support eigenfunction conjecture. There exists a choice of eigenfunctions forming an orthonormal basis of and a subsequence such that no vanishes identically on any edge of . Equivalently,
The conjecture would imply that, for every compact connected metric graph, one can choose natural-Laplacian eigenfunctions with nodal-domain ratios having limit superior equal to .
