For certain classes of such operators and under certain conditions, we are going to determine the asymptotics of the determinants $\\det A_{n_1,n_2}$ of the finite sections of the operator $A$ as their size $n_2 - n_1$ tends to infinity. Examples of such operators include block Toeplitz operators and the almost Mathieu operator.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-11-24T20:20:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47B35", "47B36", "47B37", "47L80" ], "keywords": [ "finite sections", "periodic diagonals", "asymptotics", "determinants", "block toeplitz operators" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
