The Szegő condition for Coulomb Jacobi matrices (Q1874478)

The Szegő condition for a Jacobi matrix \(a_n\to 1\), \(b_n\to 0\) and spectral measure \(\psi(x) dx+d\nu_{\text{sing}}(x)\) is satisfied, if the integral \(\int^\pi_0 \ln(2\cos O)dO\) is finite. It is shown that at certain values of \(a\) and \(b\) and \(2\psi\geq|\beta|\) the corresponding matrix is Szegő. The results by \textit{J. Dombrowski} and \textit{P. Nevai} [SIAM J. Math. Anal. 17, 752-759 (1986; Zbl 0595.42011)] are improved. The present paper is concentrated on the region \(2\alpha\geq|\beta|\). The change of the eigenvalues under perturbations is studied.
