Abstract

We consider the spectral structure for differential equations on graphs. In particular, we show that self-adjointness does not necessarily imply regularity, we also show that the algebraic and geometric eigenvalue multiplicities of formally self-adjoint differential operators on graphs are equal. Asymptotic bounds for the eigenvalues are then found.
