摘要

In this paper, we solve a minimum problem for Steklov eigenvalues on combinatorial graphs that is an analogue of the minimum problem solved by (Friedman in Duke Math. J. 83(1): 1–18 1996) for Laplacian eigenvalues by extending Friedman’s theory (Friedman in Duke Math. J. 69(3): 487–525 1993) of nodal domains for Laplacian eigenfunctions to Steklov eigenfunctions. More precisely, we mainly show that the minimum of the \(i^\textrm{th}\) i th Steklov eigenvalue on a connected combinatorial graph with n vertices is essentially attained by a star with each arm a minimal broom when \(i\not \mid n\) i n , and attained by a regular comb with each tooth a minimal broom when \(i\mid n\) i n .
