The global theory of transmission line networks with nonconservative junction conditions is developed from a spectral theoretic viewpoint. The rather general junction conditions lead to spectral problems for nonnormal operators. The theory of analytic functions which are almost periodic in a strip is used to establish the existence of an infinite sequence of eigenvalues and the completeness of generalized eigenfunctions. Simple eigenvalues are generic. The asymptotic behavior of an eigenvalue counting function is determined. Specialized results are developed for rational graphs.
Keywords: Transmission line equations, quantum graphs, dissipative boundary conditions, boundary value problems on networks..
