Abstract: In this paper we investigate the $L^1$-Liouville property, underlining its connection with stochastic completeness and other structural features of the graph. We give a characterization of the $L^1$-Liouville property in terms of the Green function of the graph and use it to prove its equivalence with stochastic completeness on model graphs. Moreover, we show that there exist stochastically incomplete graphs which satisfy the $L^1$-Liouville property and prove some comparison theorems for general graphs based on inner-outer curvatures. We also introduce the Dirichlet $L^1$-Liouville property of subgraphs and prove that if a graph has a Dirichlet $L^1$-Liouville subgraph, then it is $L^1$-Liouville itself. As a consequence, we obtain that the $L^1$-Liouville property is not affected by a finite perturbation of the graph and, just as in the continuous setting, a graph is $L^1$-Liouville provided that at least one of its ends is Dirichlet $L^1$-Liouville.

Review text

The authors address the problem of the existence of non-constant, non-negative \(L^1\) super-harmonic functions. According to them, a graph satisfies the \(L^1\)-Liouville property or it is \(L^1\)-Liouville if every non-negative, super-harmonic function in \(L^1\) is a constant. So, beginning from a non-parabolic graph and then appropriately changing the measurement is quite possible to find a non-constant, non-negative \(L^1\) super-harmonic function. The problem only makes sense if one introduces appropriate restrictions on the graph as in the extension of Karp's result. The main problem from the pointed non-locality of the Laplacian operator is used to obtain various analogues of results valid for Riemannian manifolds.
