Limiting absorption principle for a class of difference equations

From MaRDI portal





The main object under consideration is a second order difference acoustic operator \(A_0\) with coefficients that stabilize at infinity to functions depending on a single variable \(x_n\). Such an operator acts in the subspace of the weighted \(\ell^2(\mathbb {Z}_+^n)\), \(\mathbb {Z}_+^n=\{x=(x_1,\dots, x_n)\in\mathbb {Z}^n: x_n\geq0\}\) of functions \(f\) with the boundary condition \(f(x_1,\dots, x_{n-1},0)=0\). Namely, \[ A_0 u_+(x)=c_0(x)p_0(x) \sum_{j=1}^n \nabla_j^*\frac1{p_0(x)}\nabla_j u_+(x), \] where \(u_+\) is the zero extension on \(\mathbb {Z}^n\) of a given function \(u\), and \(\nabla_j\) and \(\nabla_j^*\) are the shift operators (forward and backward) in the direction of \(e_j=(0,\dots, 1_j,0,\dots,0)\). The coefficients \(c_0\), \(p_0\) are assumed to be positive, depending on \(x_n\) only and \(c_0(x)=c_+\), \(p_0(x)=p_+\) for all large enough \(x_n\). The author studies the spectral properties of \(a_0\) (its spectrum is proved to be \([0, 4c_+^2n]\)) and the limit behavior of the resolvent \(R_0(z)\), as \(z\) tends to the spectrum. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1031.00013].
