Abstract

We prove an analog of Levinson's theorem for scattering on a weighted
(m+1)-vertex graph with a semi-infinite path attached to one of its vertices.
In particular, we show that the number of bound states in such a scattering
problem is equal to m minus half the winding number of the phase of the
reflection coefficient (where each so-called half-bound state is counted as
half a bound state).
