Linear Hamiltonian difference systems: Disconjugacy and Jacobi-type conditions. (English)
[J] J. Math. Anal. Appl. 199, No.3, 804-826 (1996). ISSN 0022-247X

The author discusses linear Hamiltonian difference systems $$\Delta x_k = A_k x_{k + 1} + B_k u_k,\quad \Delta u_k = C_k x_{k + 1} - A^T_k u_k, \quad k \in J : = \{0, 1, \dots, N\}, \tag H$$ where $x_k$, $u_k \in \bbfR^n$, $k \in \overline J : = J \cup \{N + 1\}$, $A_k$, $B_k$, $C_k$ are $n \times n$-matrices, $B_k$, $C_k$ symmetric, $A_k$ such that $\widetilde A_k = (I - A_k)^{-1}$ exist. For the controllable system (H) the extended Reid Roundabout Theorem is proved; that is equivalence of: a) positivity of some quadratic functional, b) disconjugacy, c) absence of focal points in the principal solution, d) Riccati condition. A particular case of this result, with boundary conditions $x_0 = x_N = 0$, is considered separately. \par To get the main result, a discrete version of Picone's identity is proved, also several definitions like focal points or generalized zeros of vector-valued functions are introduced. Without assumption of nonsingularity of the matrix $B_k$ the presented theory includes discrete Sturm-Liouville equations of higher order. Various interconnections inside the theory and relations with earlier results are widely discussed. See also e.g. {\it C. D. Ahlbrandt} [J. Math. Anal.
