A remark on the absence of eigenvalues in continuous spectra for discrete Schrödinger operators on periodic lattices

Abstract

We prove a Rellich-Vekua type theorem for Schrödinger operators with exponentially decreasing potentials on a class of lattices including square, triangular, hexagonal lattices and their ladders. We also discuss the unique continuation theorem and the non-existence of eigenvalues embedded in the continuous spectrum.
