Phragmèn-Lindelöf type theorems for elliptic equations on infinite graphs

Abstract

We investigate the validity of the Phragmèn-Lindelöf principle for a class of elliptic equations with a potential, posed on infinite graphs. Consequently, we get uniqueness, in the class of solutions satisfying a suitable growth condition at infinity. We suppose that the {\it outer degree (or outer curvature)} of the graph is bounded from above, and we allow the potential to go to zero at infinity in a controlled way. Finally, we discuss the optimality of the conditions on the potential and on the outer degree on special graphs.
