The paper is a continuation of previous investigations of the author on some of the algebraic version of the Hamiltonian formalism for rings with involutions, which play a fundamental role in many constructions of differential topology. It starts with investigations on discrete Schrödinger operators on graphs, Wronskians and topology by introducing finite-type operators, finite-order operators, orders of operators and second-order operators. It follows an attempt to find and to use a natural analogue of the Wronskian for any pair of operators for any finite-order Schrödinger operator on arbitrary graphs satisfying suitable conditions. Next, the author introduces asymptotic symplectic spaces, asymptotic vectors, spaces of symplectic data and scattering zone of normal discrete spectrum and asserts that the scattering zone of the scattering matrix is always unitary and symmetric. Further, the studies of the factorization of the Schrödinger operator on graphs leads to the equivalence of a set of equations to the representation of operators in factorized form. In the appendix the author discusses a continuous analogue of constructions for the case of vertices and nonlinear generalizations and concludes by describing some properties of real fermionic quadratic forms.
