Abstract: We discuss the continuum limit of discrete Dirac operators on the square lattice in mathbbR2 as the mesh size tends to zero. To this end, we propose the most natural and simplest embedding of ell2(mathbbZhd) into L2(mathbbRd), which enables us to compare the discrete Dirac operators with the continuum Dirac operators in the same Hilbert space L2(mathbbR2)2. In particular, we prove that the discrete Dirac operators converge to the continuum Dirac operators in the strong resolvent sense. Potentials are assumed to be bounded and uniformly continuous functions on mathbbR2 and allowed to be complex matrix-valued. We also prove that the discrete Dirac operators do not converge to the continuum Dirac operators in the norm resolvent sense. This is closely related to the observation that the Liouville theorem does not hold in discrete complex analysis.
