We consider, from the point of view of operator theory, a class of infinite matrices in which the matrix entries are determined by an underlying graph structure with accompanying geometric data. This class includes the rigidity matrices of infinite bar-joint frameworks as well as the incidence matrices of infinite directed graphs. We consider the following questions: When do these matrices give rise to bounded operators? Can we compute the operator norm? When are these operators compact? And when are they bounded below?
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
