Jacobi matrices together with Sturm-Liouville operators and have already been developed in parallel for many years. However not much in terms of spectral theory has been done in the discrete setting compared to the continuous version especially in higher order operators. The main objective of this study is to compute the deficiency indices of Fourth order difference operator.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
The primary objective of this study is to determine the deficiency indices of a fourth-order difference operator, which is a discrete analogue of a Sturm-Liouville operator. The study focuses on the operator generated by a specific fourth-order difference equation defined on a weighted Hilbert space.
- Deficiency indices of fourth-order difference operators
- Spectral theory in the discrete setting
- Asymptotic summation and Levinson-Benzaid-Lutz theorem
- Discrete Hamiltonian systems
- Self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators
Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
- Abstract: This section provides a concise overview of the study's objective and scope, highlighting the focus on computing the deficiency indices of a fourth-order difference operator.
- Introduction: This chapter introduces the research problem, emphasizing the lack of extensive spectral theory development for higher-order difference operators compared to their continuous counterparts.
