A non-linear characterization of stochastic completeness of graphs

Abstract

We study non-linear Schr\"odinger operators on graphs. We construct minimal nonnegative solutions to corresponding semi-linear elliptic equations and use them to introduce the notion of stochastic completeness at infinity in a non-linear setting. We provide characterizations for this property in terms of a semi-linear Liouville theorem. It is employed to establish a non-linear characterization for stochastic completeness, which is a graph version of a recent result on Riemannian manifolds.
