Kazdan–Warner Equation on Hypergraphs
摘要
Let H = (V, E) be a connected finite hypergraph, which is an extension of the graph theory in which the edges may connect more than two vertices and form hyperedges. We study the Kazdan–Warner equation
on H, where c is a constant and h is a known function defined on H . Based on the work by Grigor’yan, Lin, and Yang [A. Grigor’yan, Y. Lin, and Y. Yang, Calc. Var. Partial Differen. Equat., 55, No. 4, Article 92 (2016)], we employ the variational calculus to extend the main results concerning the solutions to the Kazdan–Warner equation from finite graphs to hypergraphs. We obtain similar results for the cases where c > 0 and c < 0 provided that h satisfies certain conditions on hypergraphs. However, for the case where c = 0, we cannot get the same results.
