Abstract
This paper proves new results on spectral and scattering theory for matrix-valued Schr\"odinger operators on the discrete line with non-compactly supported perturbations whose first moments are assumed to exist. In particular, a Levinson theorem is proved, in which a relation between scattering data and spectral properties (bound and half bound states) of the corresponding Hamiltonians is derived. The proof is based on stationary scattering theory with prominent use of Jost solutions at complex energies that are controlled by Volterra-type integral equations.
