Abstract
We have considered a fourth order difference operator defined on the Hilbert space of square summable sequences on N. We investigated the stability of existence of Krein-von Neumann self-adjoint extension of difference operators under bounded and unbounded coefficients. Using asymptotic summation based on discretised Levinson's theorem and appropriate smoothness and decay conditions, we have shown that unlike the case of deficiency indices and discrete spectrum, the existence of positive self-adjoint operator extensions is stable under unbounded perturbations. These results now exhaustively characterise the spectral and structural properties of difference operators with unbounded coefficients.
