Invariance of deficiency indices under perturbation for discrete Hamiltonian systems

Abstract

This paper deals with discrete Hamiltonian systems with one singular endpoint. Using Hermitian linear relation generalized by linear Hamiltonian system, the invariance of the minimal and maximal deficiency indices under bounded perturbation for discrete Hamiltonian systems is built. This parallels the well-known results for linear Hamiltonian differential systems obtained by F.V. Atkinson. © 2013 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
