Abstract: Using our previously published algorithm, we analyze the eigenvectors of the generalized Laplacian for two metric graphs occurring in practical applications. As expected, localization of an eigenvector is rare and the network should be tuned to observe exactly localized eigenvectors. We derive the resonance conditions to obtain localized eigenvectors for various geometric configurations and their combinations to form more complicated resonant structures. These localized eigenvectors suggest a new localization indicator based on the $L_2$ norm. They also can be excited, even with leaky boundary conditions, as shown by the numerical solution of the time-dependent wave equation on the metric graph. Finally, the study suggests practical ways to make resonating systems based on metric graphs.
