Abstract: The Agmon estimate shows that eigenfunctions of Schr"odinger operators, $-Deltaphi+Vphi=Ephi$, decay exponentially in the `classically forbidden' region where the potential exceeds the energy level $leftx:V(x)>Eight$. Moreover, the size of $|phi(x)|$ is bounded in terms of a weighted (Agmon) distance between $x$ and the allowed region. We derive such a statement on graphs when $-Delta$ is replaced by the Graph Laplacian $L=D-A$: we identify an explicit Agmon metric and prove a pointwise decay estimate in terms of the Agmon distance.
