Spectral analysis of metric graphs with infinite rays. (English) Zbl 1324.05118

The author gives a detailed analysis of spectral properties of infinite graphs consisting of a finite metric graph and a semi-infinite chain (a ray) attached to each vertex. It is shown that the adjacency matrix of such a graph defines a selfadjoint operator unitarily equivalent to a direct sum of a finite number of explicitly written Jacoby matrices. For several examples, spectra and eigenvectors are calculated.
