Abstract: We explore the connection between the spectral theory of Jacobi matrices and the moment problem. A Jacobi matrix is a matrix with zeros everywhere except possibly on the main diagonal and one diagonal above it and one below it. It acts on L 2 as a difference operator and it is indeed a discrete Schrodinger operator. We will discuss a particular example of a symmetric Jacobi operator with zero entries on the diagonal and where the entries on the other diagonals grow exponentially. In the background there is an interesting set of orthogonal polynomials which also solves a Sturm-Liouville problem involving the Askey-Wilson operator. The asymptotics of the orthogonal polynomials are very interesting and display unusual phenomena.
