TY - JOUR A1 - Klein, Markus A1 - Rosenberger, Elke T1 - Asymptotic eigenfunctions for a class of difference operators JF - Asymptotic analysis N2 - We analyze a general class of difference operators H(epsilon) = T(epsilon) + V(epsilon) on l(2)((epsilon Z)(d)), where V(epsilon) is a one-well potential and epsilon is a small parameter. We construct formal asymptotic expansions of WKB-type for eigenfunctions associated with the low lying eigenvalues of H(epsilon). These are obtained from eigenfunctions or quasimodes for the operator H(epsilon), acting on L(2)(R(d)), via restriction to the lattice (epsilon Z)(d).
