Invariance of Deficiency Indices of Second-Order Symmetric Linear Difference Equations under Perturbations

摘要

This paper focuses on the invariance of deficiency indices of second-order symmetric linear difference equations under perturbations. By applying the perturbation theory of Hermitian linear relations, the invariance of deficiency indices of the corresponding minimal subspaces under bounded and relatively bounded perturbations is built. As a consequence, the invariance of limit types of second-order symmetric linear difference equations under bounded and relatively bounded perturbations is obtained.
