Asymptotics of eigenvalues of the zero-range perturbation of the discrete bilaplacian
We consider the family $$ \hat {\bf h}_μ:=\hat\varDelta\hat \varDelta - μ\hat {\bf v},\qquadμ\in\mathbb{R}, $$ of discrete Schrödinger-type operators in one-dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}$, where $\hat \varDelta$ is the discrete Laplacian and $\hat{\bf v}$ is of zero-range. We prove that for any $μ\ne0$ the discrete spectrum of $\hat {\bf h}_μ$ is a singleton $\{e(μ)\},$ and $e(μ)<0$ for $μ>0$ and $e(μ)>4$ for $μ<0.$ Moreover, we study the properties of $e(μ)$ as a function of $μ,$ in particular, we find the asymptotics of $e(μ)$ as $μ\searrow0$ and $μ\nearrow0.$
