Abstract

Let {an}n0\{a_n\}_{n\geq 0} and {bn}n0\{b_n\}_{n\geq 0} be sequences of scalars. Suppose an0a_n \neq 0 for all n0n \geq 0. We consider the tridiagonal kernel (also known as band kernel with bandwidth one) as k(z,w)=n=0((an+bnz)zn)((an+bnw)wn)(z,wD), k(z, w) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty ((a_n + b_n z)z^n) \overline{(({a}_n + {b}_n {w}) {w}^n)} \qquad (z, w \in \mathbb{D}), where D={zC:z<1}\mathbb{D} = \{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z| < 1\}. Denote by MzM_z the multiplication operator on the reproducing kernel Hilbert space corresponding to the kernel kk. Assume that MzM_z is left-invertible. We prove that Mz=M_z = compact ++ isometry if and only if bnanbn+1an+10|\frac{b_n}{a_n}-\frac{b_{n+1}}{a_{n+1}}|\rightarrow 0 and anan+11|\frac{a_n}{a_{n+1}}| \rightarrow 1.
