contents The Spectral Edges Conjecture is a well-known and widely believed conjecture in the theory of discrete periodic operators. It states that the extrema of the dispersion relation are isolated, non-degenerate, and occur in a single band. We present two infinite families of periodic graphs which satisfy the Spectral Edges Conjecture. For each, every extremum of the dispersion relation is a corner point (point of symmetry). In fact, each spectral band function is a perfect Morse function. We also give a construction that increases dimension, while preserving that each spectral band function is a perfect Morse function.
