Popis: We examine diagonal combs, a recently identified class of infinite metric graphs whose properties depend on one parameter. These graphs exhibit a fascinating regime where they possess infinite volume while maintaining purely discrete spectrum for the Neumann Laplacian. In this regime, we establish polynomial upper and lower bounds on the $k$-th eigenvalue, revealing that the eigenvalues grow at a rate strictly slower than quadratic. However, once the diagonal combs transition to finite volume, their growth accelerates to a quadratic rate. Our methodology involves employing spectral geometric principles tailored for metric graphs, complemented by deriving estimates for the $k$-th eigenvalue on compact metric graphs.
