[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00018.] There are very many problems from lattice quantum models (the lattice quantum field theory, solid state theory and so on) which are related to studies of bound states of a system of two quasiparticles by small interactions. Mathematically these problems are reduced to study discrete spectra of the family of operators having the following form \[ (D_ Kf)(k)=A_ K(k)f(k)+\lambda\int_{T^ d}B_ K(k,p)f(p)dp,\qquad k,K\in T^ d, \] where \(T^ d\) is the \(d\)-dimensional torus, \(K\in T^ d\) is the whole moment of the two-quasiparticle system, \(f\) is a vector function on \(T^ d\) with values in \(R^ n\), \(A_ K(k)\) is a family of (\(n\times n\))-matrix functions on \(T^ d\) and \(B_ K(k,p)\) is a family of matrix kernels, \(\lambda\ll 1\) is a small parameter. At first it is considered in detail the case \(d=1\), \(n=1\) by which the discrete eigenvalues of \(D_ K\) appear in the neighbourhood of the edges \([\min A_ K(k), \max A_ K(k)]\) of the continuum spectra of \(D_ k\). The number \(N(K)\) of these eigenvalues depends on the character of singularity and multiplicity of \(\hbox{ext} A_ K(k): N(K)>1\) only in the neighbourhoods of caustic values of the parameter \(K\) or of its values by which \(\hbox{ext}_ k A_ K(k)\) is at least double. Similar considerations are developed for cases \(d>1\) and also \(n>1\).
