"An introduction to the Laplacian operator on a metrized graph: Part 2"

We will continue our discussion of harmonic analysis on a finite metrized graph. The goal is to finish the introduction to the theory and go over some explicit examples.

"Ultraproducts, Hyperreals, and Pseudofinite Graphs"

An ultraproduct is a construction used in mathematical logic to construct limits of first-order structures. Due to a result of Jerzy Los, the first-order properties of these limits is very well understood, allowing one to construct counter-examples as well as structures that are interesting in and of themselves.
