ONE-DIMENSIONAL FINITE-GAP SCHRÖDINGER OPERATORS AS A LIMIT OF COMMUTING DIFFERENCE OPERATORS

Abstract

In this paper we show that the one–dimensional finite–gap Schrödinger operator can be obtained by passing to the limit from a second–order difference operator that commutes with some odd–order difference operator; the coefficients of these difference operators are functions defined on the line and depend on a small parameter. Moreover, the spectral curve of the difference operators does not depend on the small parameter and coincides with the spectral curve of the Schrödinger operator.
