Abstract: We consider discrete one-dimensional Schrödinger operators whose potentials decay asymptotically like an inverse square. In the super-critical case, where there are infinitely many discrete eigenvalues, we compute precise asymptotics of the number of eigenvalues below a given energy $ E$ as this energy tends to the bottom of the essential spectrum.
