Abstract: We discuss the validity of the Weyl asymptotics -- in the sense of two-sided bounds -- for the size of the discrete spectrum of (discrete) Schr"odinger operators on the $d$--dimensional, $dgeq1$, cubic lattice $mathbb{Z}^d$ at large couplings. We show that the Weyl asymptotics can be violated in any spatial dimension $dgeq1$ -- even if the semi-classical number of bound states is finite. Furthermore, we prove for all dimensions $dgeq1$ that, for potentials well-behaved at infinity and fulfilling suitable decay conditions, the Weyl asymptotics always hold. These decay conditions are mild in the case $dgeq3$, while stronger for $d=1,2$. It is well-known that the semi-classical number of bound states is -- up to a constant -- always an upper bound on the size of the discrete spectrum of Schr"odinger operators if $dgeq3$. We show here how to construct general upper bounds on the number of bound states of Schr"odinger operators on $mathbb{Z}^d$ from semi-classical quantities in all space dimensions $dgeq1$ and independently of the positivity-improving property of the free Hamiltonian.
