چکیده
We consider 2n× 2n symplectic difference systems together with associated discrete quadratic functionals and eigenvalue problems. We establish Sturmian type comparison theorems for the numbers of focal points of conjoined bases of a pair of symplectic systems. Then, using this comparison result, we show that the numbers of focal points of two conjoined bases of one symplectic system differ by at most n. In the last part of the paper we prove the Rayleigh principle for symplectic eigenvalue problems and we show that finite eigenvectors of such eigenvalue problems form a complete orthogonal basis in the space of admissible sequences.

Rayleigh Principle for Time Scale Symplectic Systems and Applications
In this paper we establish the Rayleigh principle, i.e., the variational characterization of the eigenvalues, for a general eigenvalue problem consisting of a time scale symplectic system and the Dirichlet boundary conditions. No normality or controllability assumption is imposed on the system. Applications of this result include the Sturmian comparison and separation theorems for time scale sy...
متن کاملSymmetric Three-Term Recurrence Equations and Their Symplectic Structure
We revive the study of the symmetric three-term recurrence equations. Our main result shows that these equations have a natural symplectic structure, that is, every symmetric three-term recurrence equation is a special discrete symplectic system. The assumptions on the coefficients in this paper are weaker and more natural than those in the current literature. In addition, our result implies th...
متن کاملUnifying Discrete and Continuous Weyl-titchmarsh Theory via a Class of Linear Hamiltonian Systems on Sturmian Time Scales
In this study, we are concerned with introducing Weyl-Titchmarsh theory for a class of dynamic linear Hamiltonian nabla systems over a half-line on Sturmian time scales. After developing fundamental properties of solutions and regular spectral problems, we introduce the corresponding maximal and minimal operators for the system. Matrix disks are constructed and proved to be nested and converge ...
متن کاملDilations, models, scattering and spectral problems of 1D discrete Hamiltonian systems
In this paper, the maximal dissipative extensions of a symmetric singular 1D discrete Hamiltonian operator with maximal deficiency indices (2,2) (in limit-circle cases at ±∞) and acting in the Hilbert space ℓ_{Ω}²(Z;C²) (Z:={0,±1,±2,...}) are considered. We consider two classes dissipative operators with separated boundary conditions both at -∞ and ∞. For each of these cases we establish a self...
متن کاملErgodic Theory and Discrete One-dimensional Random Schr Odinger Operators: Uniform Existence of the Lyapunov Exponent
We review recent results which relate spectral theory of discrete one-dimensional Schrödinger operators over strictly ergodic systems to uniform existence of the Lyapunov exponent. In combination with suitable ergodic theorems this allows one to establish Cantor spectrum of Lebesgue measure zero for a large class of quasicrystal Schrödinger operators. The results can also be used to study non-u...
