“…But, secondly, as a notable by-product of our estimates, which are both sharp for each k and asymptotically sharp for each graph as k → ∞, we can obtain asymptotic relations of Weyl type for the spectral minimal energies which strongly recall the eigenvalue Weyl asymptotics. More precisely, we will show that the energies L k,p grow as (1.1) π 2 L 2 k 2 + O(k) as k → ∞, exactly like the eigenvalues of various realisations of the Laplacian on compact metric graphs [Nic87,CW05,BE09,OS19]. This may also be compared with the case of planar domains, where a two-dimensional analogue of (1.1) is conjectured for the (Dirichlet) spectral minimal energiesthe so-called hexagonal conjecture -but to date only two-sided asymptotic bounds are available (see [BNH17, § 10.9.1] and Remark 3.4).…”
