On spectral properties of one class difference operators

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we analyse basic facts of infinite matrix theory. We construct a similarity transform which allows one to represent matrices in a certain class of 5-th diagonal matrices of a difference operator in a diagonal or block-diagonal form. For such matrices, asymptotic estimates of eigenvalues and eigenvectors are obtained. Such matrices are considered in game theory. They are also used in the study fourth-order difference operators with growing potential. The problem of invariant subspaces is also considered.
