In a graph G, for a subset S of the vertex set, the induced subgraph determined by S has edge set consisting of all edges of G with both endpoints in S. The (edge) boundary, denoted by S consists of all edges containing one endpoint in S and one endpoint not in S.

We explore the tunneling behavior of a quantum particle on a finite graph in the presence of an asymptotically large potential with two or three potential wells. The behavior of the particle is primarily governed by the local spectral symmetry of the graph around the wells. In the case of two wells the behavior is stable in the sense that it can be predicted from a sufficiently large neighborhood of the wells. However in the case of three wells we are able to exhibit examples where the tunneling behavior can be changed significantly by perturbing the graph arbitrarily far from the wells.

We prove an explicit formula of ChungYaus Discrete Greens functions as well as hitting times of random walks on graphs. The formula is expressed in terms of two natural counting invariants of graphs. Uniform derivations of Greens functions and hitting times for trees and other special graphs are given.

"In this paper we consider a variation of the classical Turán-type extremal problems. Let $S$ be an $n$ -term graphical sequence, and $\sigma(S)$ be the sum of the terms in $S$ . Let $H$ be a graph. The problem is to determine the smallest even $l$ such that any $n$ -term graphical sequence $S$ having $\sigma(S)\geq l$ has a realization containing $H$ as a subgraph. Denote this value $l$ by $\sigma(H,n)$ . We show $\sigma(C_{2m+1},n)=m(2n-m-1)+2$ , for $m\geq 3$ , $n\geq 3m$ ; $\sigma(C_{2m+2},n)=m(2n-m-1)+4$ , for $m\geq 3$ , $n\geq 5m-2$ .''

We consider a graph G and a covering G of G and we study the relations of their eigenvalues and heat kernels. We evaluate the heat kernel for an infinite k-regular tree and we examine the heat kernels for general k-regular graphs. In particular, we show that a k-regular graph on n vertices has at most (1+ o (1)) 2 log n knlog k
