If we apply the boundary matrix B on the cycle , that is the cycle (125), we obtain no boundary, or an empty set of nodes . If we apply B on the chain , we obtain the boundary 1 and 5 of this chain, namely the nodes (−1, 0, 0, 0, 1).

The Laplacian matrix acting on functions of nodes acts in the same way as the Laplace–Beltrami operator acts on functions defined on oriented Riemannian manifolds (see Sect. 4.​3) [175]. The theorem for the Rayleigh quotient and the minimum eigenvalue can be used rather as an approximation in the Riemannian manifold case, while in graph theory where all norms are finite sums, this theorem becomes a rigorous and important tool.

For a Dirichlet boundary problem, it is known that the solutions form a discrete bounded spectrum , and the following principle of the minimum eigenvalue holds:
