## Dirichlet to Neumann maps for infinite quantum graphs

Received  September 2011 Revised  June 2012 Published  October 2012

The Dirichlet problem and Dirichlet to Neumann map are analyzed for elliptic equations on a large collection of infinite quantum graphs. For a dense set of continuous functions on the graph boundary, the Dirichlet to Neumann map has values in the Radon measures on the graph boundary.
