Abstract

We prove a Harnack inequality for eigenfunctions of certain homogeneous graphs and subgraphs which we call strongly convex. This inequality can be used to derive a lower bound for the (nontrivial) Neumann eigenvalues by l/(8kD 2 ) where k is the maximum degree and D denotes the diameter of the graph.
