Infinite Schrödinger networks

Abstract

Finite-difference models of partial differential equations such as Laplace or Poisson equations lead to a finite network. A discretized equation on an unbounded plane or space results in an infinite network. In an infinite network, Schrödinger operator (perturbed Laplace operator, $q$-Laplace) is defined to develop a discrete potential theory which has a model in the Schrödinger equation in the Euclidean spaces. The relation between Laplace operator $\Delta$-theory and the $\Delta_q$-theory is investigated. In the $\Delta_q$-theory the Poisson equation is solved if the network is a tree and a canonical representation for non-negative $q$-superharmonic functions is obtained in general case.
