Deficiency numbers of operators generated by infinite Jacobi matrices

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let Aj,Bj (j=0,1,ldots) be mimesm matrices, whose elements are complex numbers, Aj are selfadjoint matrices and Bj−1 exist. We study the deficiency index problem for minimal closed symmetric operator L with domain DL, generated by the Jacobi matrix extbfJ with entries Aj,Bj in the Hilbert space lm2 of sequences u=(u0,u1,ldots),ujinCm by mapping uightarrowextbfJu, i.e. by the formula Lu=lu for uinDL, where lu=((lu)0,(lu)1,ldots) and (lu)_0:=A_0u_0+B_0u_1, quad (lu)_j:=B^*_{j-1}u_{j-1}+A_ju_j+B_ju_{j+1}, ;; j=1,2, ldots It is well known that the case of the minimal deficiency numbers of the operator L corresponds to the determinate case, and the case of the maximal deficiency numbers of this operator corresponds to the completely indeterminate case of the matrix power moment problem. In this paper we obtain new conditions of the minimal, maximal and not maximal deficiency numbers of the operator L in terms of the entries of the matrix extbfJ. The special attention is paid to the case m=1, i.e. we present some conditions on the elements of the numerical tridiagonal Jacobi matrix, which ensure the realization of the determinate case of the classical power moment problem.
