Description:
This book is intended to serve both as an introduction and a reference to spectral and inverse spectral theory of Jacobi operators (i.e., second order symmetric difference operators) and applications of these theories to the Toda and Kac-van Moerbeke hierarchy. Starting from second order difference equations we move on to self-adjoint operators and develop discrete Weyl-Titchmarsh-Kodaira theory, covering all classical aspects like Weyl m-functions, spectral functions, the moment problem, inverse spectral theory, and uniqueness results.

Students learn to write proofs while at the same time learning about binary operations, orders, fields, ordered fields, complete fields, complex numbers, sequences, and series. We also review limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration.
