Absolute continuity for unbounded Jacobi matrices with constant row sums (Q1599123): Difference between revisions

In the present paper the authors study two classes of Jacobi matrices. The first one consists of the matrices with zero diagonal \((b_n=0)\) and the off diagonal sequences \(a_n\) which satisfy \[ a_{2n-1}=a_{2n}=n+\varepsilon, \qquad \varepsilon\geq 0, \quad n\geq 1. \] The authors show that the spectral measures of such matrices are absolutely continuous. The second class includes generic Jacobi matrices with \[ a_n=(n+\varepsilon_n)^2, \qquad a_{n-1}+b_n+a_n=0. \] The corresponding spectral measures are proved to have an absolutely continuous part as long as \(\varepsilon_n\) is of bounded variation and \(\varepsilon_n \geq 0\).
