In this paper, we consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators of the form, \begin{equation*} (Hu)(n)= u({n+1})+u({n-1})+V(n)u(n). \end{equation*} We view $H$ as a perturbation of the free operator $H_0$, where $(H_0u)(n)= u({n+1})+u({n-1})$.…

This article is about two types of restrictions of eigenfunctions $\phi_j$ on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$: First, we restrict to a submanifold $H \subset M$, and expand the restriction $\gamma_H \phi_j$ in eigenfunctions $e_k$ of…
