We consider a general class of sparse graphs which includes for example graphs that satisfy a strong isoperimetric inequality. First, we characterize these graphs in a functional analytic way by means of the form domain of Schrödinger operators. Furthermore, we study spectral bounds and characterize discreteness of the spectrum. As a particular consequence we obtain estimates on the eigenvalue asymptotics in this case. (This is joint work with Michel Bonnefont and Sylvain Golénia.)
