The Fundamental Gap for a Class of Schrödinger Operators on Path and Hypercube Graphs
Michael Jarret, Stephen P. Jordan
We consider the difference between the two lowest eigenvalues (the fundamental gap) of a Schrödinger operator acting on a class of graphs. In particular, we derive tight bounds for…
