The Hahn-Exton q-Bessel function as the characteristic function of a Jacobi matrix

F. Štampach, P. Šťovíček (2014)

Special Matrices

A family T(ν), ν ∈ ℝ, of semiinfinite positive Jacobi matrices is introduced with matrix entries taken from the Hahn-Exton q-difference equation. The corresponding matrix operators defined on the linear hull of the canonical basis in ℓ2(ℤ+) are essentially self-adjoint for |ν| ≥ 1 and have deficiency indices (1, 1) for |ν| < 1. A convenient description of all self-adjoint extensions is obtained and the spectral problem is analyzed in detail. The spectrum is discrete and the characteristic equation...

The law of large numbers and a functional equation

Maciej Sablik (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We deal with the linear functional equation (E) g ( x ) = i = 1 r p i g ( c i x ) , where g:(0,∞) → (0,∞) is unknown, ( p , . . . , p r ) is a probability distribution, and c i ’s are positive numbers. The equation (or some equivalent forms) was considered earlier under different assumptions (cf. [1], [2], [4], [5] and [6]). Using Bernoulli’s Law of Large Numbers we prove that g has to be constant provided it has a limit at one end of the domain and is bounded at the other end.

The oscillation of an m th order perturbed nonlinear difference equation

Patricia J. Y. Wong, Ravi P. Agarwal (1996)

Archivum Mathematicum

We offer sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions of the perturbed difference equation | Δ m y ( k ) | α - 1 Δ m y ( k ) + Q ( k , y ( k - σ k ) , Δ y ( k - σ k ) , , Δ m - 2 y ( k - σ k ) ) = P ( k , y ...
