“…In the context of a graph of bounded degree, the paper [3] contains an important link between the essential selfadjointness of (∆ + W )| C c (V ) , where ∆ is as in (11) with w ≡ 1, and completeness of the weighted metric d 1,a;1 in (8) above; namely, if (G, d 1,a;1 ) is complete and if (∆ + W )| C c (V ) is semi-bounded below, then (∆ + W )| C c (V ) is essentially selfadjoint in the space ℓ 2 w (V ) with w ≡ 1. This result of [3] was extended in [11] to semi-bounded below operator H| C c (V ) in ℓ 2 w (V ), where H is as in (6).…”
