Finite truncations of generalized one-dimensional discrete convolution operators and asymptotic behavior of the spectrum. The matrix case (Q816268)

The paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of the spectra of the truncated generalized discrete convolution operators \(A_N(a)\) (\(N\in\mathbb{N}\)) given by matrices of the form \[ \bigg(a\Big(\frac{n}{E(N)},\frac{k}{E(N)},n-k\Big)\bigg)_{n,k=1,\dots,N} \] where \(a:\mathbb{R}_+\times\mathbb{R}_+\times\mathbb{Z}\to\mathbb{C}_{m\times m}\) is a complex \(m\times m\) matrix function uniformly continuous in the first two variables and \(E:\mathbb{N}\to(0,+\infty)\) is a function satisfying \(E(N)\to\infty\) and \(N/E(N)\to\infty\) as \(N\to\infty\). Let \(S\) be the unit circle in \(\mathbb{C}\) equipped with the Lebesgue measure \(d\mu\), and let \[ \begin{gathered} (\Lambda a)(x,y,t)=\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}a(x,y,n)t^n\quad (x,y\in\mathbb{R}_+,\;t\in S),\\\Phi_f(A)=\frac{1}{\roman{Numb}(B)}\sum_{k\in B}f(\lambda_k),\end{gathered} \] where \(A\) is a linear operator given on a finite-dimensional Banach space, \(f\) is an analytic function defined on an open domain \(D\) in the complex plane, \(\{\lambda_k\}\) are the eigenvalues of the operator \(A\) counted with their multiplicities, \(B\) is the set of those \(k\) for which \(\lambda_k\) belongs to \(D\), and \(\text{Numb}(B)\) is the cardinality of the set \(B\). Under some condition on the matrix function \(a\) and the domain \(D\), the following generalization of the Szegő limit theorem is obtained: \[ \Phi_f(A_N(a))-\frac{E(N)}{N}\int_0^{\frac{N}{E(N)}} \bigg\{\frac{1}{2\pi m}\int_S \roman{tr}f\big[(\Lambda a)(x,x,t) \big]d\mu\bigg\}dx\to 0 \] as \(N\to\infty\), where \(\text{tr}\,T\) denotes the trace of the operator \(T\).
