abstract
Eigenvalue spectrum of the Laplacian on a metric graph with arbitrary but fixed vertex conditions is investigated in the limit as the lengths of all edges decrease to zero at the same rate. It is proved that there are exactly four possible types of eigenvalue asymptotics. The number of eigenvalues of each type is expressed via the index and nullity of a form defined in terms of the vertex conditions.
