Harmonic functions of general graph Laplacians

Autoren: Bobo Hua, Matthias Keller (2013)

We study harmonic functions on general weighted graphs which allow for a compatible intrinsic metric. We prove an \(L^{p}\) Liouville type theorem which is a quantitative integral \(L^{p}\) estimate of harmonic functions analogous to Karp’s theorem for Riemannian manifolds. As corollaries we obtain Yau’s \(L^{p}\)-Liouville type theorem on graphs, identify the domain of the generator of the semigroup on \(L^{p}\) and get a criterion for recurrence. As a side product, we show an analogue of Yau’s \(L^{p}\) Caccioppoli inequality. Furthermore, we derive various Liouville type results for harmonic functions on graphs and harmonic maps from graphs into Hadamard spaces.
