Spectral enclosures for non-self-adjoint discrete Schr\"odinger operators

Abstract

We study location of eigenvalues of one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operators with complex $\ell^{p}$-potentials for $1\leq p\leq \infty$. In the case of $\ell^{1}$-potentials, the derived bound is shown to be optimal. For $p>1$, two different spectral bounds are obtained. The method relies on the Birman-Schwinger principle and various techniques for estimations of the norm of the Birman-Schwinger operator.
