| Description | In this paper we generalize oscillation theorems for discrete Hamiltonian eigenvalue problems with nonlinear dependence on the spectral parameter. In our version of the discrete oscillation theorems, we incorporate the case when the block B of the discrete Hamiltonian H has nonconstant rank with respect to the spectral parameter. We introduce a new notion of weighted focal points for conjoined bases of the Hamiltonian difference systems and we show that the number of weighted focal points plays the role of the classical number of focal points in the discrete oscillation theorems for the Hamiltonian spectral problems with the nonconstant rank of B. |
