Abstract:
Let $J$ be a Jacobi matrix with elements $b_k$ on the main diagonal and elements $a_k$ on the auxiliary ones. We suppose that $J$ is a compact perturbation of the free Jacobi matrix. In this case the essential spectrum of $J$ coincides with $[-2,2]$, and its discrete spectrum is a union of two sequences $\{x^\pm _j\}, x^+_j>2, x^-_j<-2$, tending to $\pm 2$. We denote sequences $\{a_{k+1}-a_k\}$ and $\{a_{k+1}+a_{k-1}-2a_k\}$ by $\partial a$ and $\partial ^2 a$, respectively.
The main result of the note is the following theorem.
Theorem. Let $J$ be a Jacobi matrix described above and $\sigma$ be its spectral measure. Then $a-1,b\in l^4,\ \partial ^2 a,\partial ^2 b \in l^2$ if and only if \[ \mathrm {i)}\ \int ^2_{-2} \log \sigma ’(x) (4-x^2)^{5/2} dx>-\infty ,\qquad \mathrm {ii)}\ \sum _j(x^\pm _j\mp 2)^{7/2}<\infty . \]
