In particular, it is shown that this map can be applied to the spectral analysis of realistic quantum networks with multi-dimensional period. Some numerical examples for the Schrödinger operator on a one-dimensional graph with a 2-dimensional rectangular period are presented. rv: Petru A. Cojuhari (Kraków)
