A note on the asymptotic and threshold behaviour of discrete eigenvalues inside the spectral gaps of the difference operator with a periodic potential (Q1629216)

Summary: The asymptotic and threshold behaviour of the eigenvalues of a perturbed difference operator inside a spectral gap is investigated. In particular, applications of the Titchmarsh-Weyl \(m\)-function theory as well as the Birman-Schwinger principle is performed to investigate the existence and behaviour of the eigenvalues of the operator \(H_0 + \lambda W_n\) inside the spectral gap of \(H_0\) in the limits \(\lambda \uparrow \operatorname{\infty}\) and \(\lambda \downarrow 0 .\)
