| APPROXIMATION OF QUANTUM GRAPH VERTEX COUPLINGS BY SCALED SCHRÖDINGER OPERATORS ON THIN BRANCHED MANIFOLDS (2009) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Abstract. We discuss approximations of vertex couplings of quantum graphs using families of thin branched manifolds. We show that if a Neumann type Laplacian on such manifolds is amended by suitable potentials, the resulting Schrödinger operators can approximate non-trivial vertex couplings. The latter include not only the δ-couplings but also those with wavefunctions discontinuous at the vertex. We work out the example of the symmetric δ ′-couplings and conjecture that the same method can be applied to all couplings invariant with respect to the time reversal. 1. | |||||||||||||||
