The classical moment problem as a self-adjoint finite difference operator.(English)Zbl 0910.44004
In this comprehensive exposition, the author discusses the classical moment problem from the theory of finite difference operators. The Stieltjes and the Hamburger moment problems are considered from the self-adjointness point of view. As an advantage of this approach it is shown that the Nevanlinna functions appear as elements of a transfer matrix and the convergence of Padé approximants is a strong resolvent convergence of finite matrix approximations to a Jacobi matrix. New results on the convergence of certain Padé approximants for Hamburger series are obtained.
