Abstract

Consider a connected finite graph E with set of vertices X. Choose a nonempty subset Y &#8834 X, not equal to the whole X, and call it the boundary Y = ∂ X. We are given a real valued function F : Y &#8594 R. Our objective is to find function u on X, such that u = F on Y and u satisfies the following equation for all x &#8712 X Y u(x) = &#945 max_(y &#8712 S(x)) u(y) + &#946 min_(y &#8712 S(x))u(y) + &#947( &#8721_(y &#8712 S(x)) u(y) &#8260 #(S(x) ) , (1)where &#945, &#946, and &#947 are some predetermined non-negative constants such that &#945 + &#946 + &#947 = 1, for x &#8712 X, #S(x) is the set of vertices connected to x by an edge, and #(S (x)) denotes the cardinality of S (x). We prove existence and uniqueness of the solution of the above Dirichlet problem and study qualitative properties of the solutions.
