Sobolev type inequalities for compact metric graphs

Abstract In this paper analogues of Sobolev inequalities for compact and connected metric graphs are derived. As a consequence of these inequalities, a lower bound, commonly known as Cheeger inequality, on the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator with standard vertex conditions is recov...
