Absolute equal distribution of the eigenvalues of discrete Sturm--Liouville problems (Q2497360)

The asymptotic relationship as \(n\to\infty\) between the eigenvalues \(\lambda_{1n}\leq\cdots\leq\lambda_{nn}\) and \(\mu_{1n}\leq\cdots\leq \mu_{nn}\) of the Sturm-Liouville problems defined as \(n\geq 2k+1\) by \[ \sum^k_{l=0} (-1)^l\Delta^l(r_{ln}(i- l)\Delta^l x_{i-l})= \lambda\Phi_{in} x_i,\quad 1\leq i\leq n \] and \[ \sum^k_{l=0} (-1)^l \Delta^l (s_{ln}(i-l)\Delta^l x_{i-l})= \mu\Psi_{in} x_i,\quad 1\leq i\leq n, \] where \(x_i= 0\) if \(-k+ 1\leq i\leq 0\) or \(n+1\leq i\leq n+k\), all quantities are real and \(\Phi_{in}\), \(\Psi_{in}> 0\), \(1\leq i\leq n\), \(n\geq 2k+1\). Sufficient conditions implying \[ \lim_{n\to\infty}{1\over n} \sum^n_{i=1} |F(\lambda_{in})- F(\mu_{in})|= 0 \] for all \(F\in C(-\infty, \infty)\), such that \(\lim_{x\to-\infty} F(x)\) and \(\lim_{x\to\infty} (F(x))\) exist (finite), are given.
