Abstract

The Wigner-von Neumann method, which has previously been used for perturbing continuous Schrödinger operators, is here applied to their discrete counterparts. In particular, we consider perturbations of arbitrary T-periodic Jacobi matrices. The asymptotic behaviour of the subordinate solutions is investigated, as too are their initial components, together giving a general technique for embedding eigenvalues, ?, into the operator’s absolutely continuous spectrum. Introducing a new rational function, C(?;T), related to the periodic Jacobi matrices, we describe the elements of the a.c. spectrum for which this construction does not work (zeros of C(?;T)); in particular showing that there are only finitely many of them.
