## A Rellich type theorem for discrete Schrödinger operators

 1 Division of Mathematics, University of Tsukuba, Tennoudai 1-1-1, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-8571, Japan, Japan

Received  July 2013 Revised  November 2013 Published  May 2014

An analogue of Rellich's theorem is proved for discrete Laplacians on square lattices, and applied to show unique continuation properties on certain domains as well as non-existence of embedded eigenvalues for discrete Schrödinger operators.
