Abstract
This article presents a Hamiltonian lattice formulation of static Casimir systems at a level of generality appropriate for an introductory investigation. Background structure - represented by a lattice potential V(x) - is introduced along one spatial direction with translation invariance in all other spatial directions. Following some general analysis two specific finite one dimensional lattice QFT systems are analyzed in detail.
