In this paper we give a first order system of difference equations which provides a useful companion system in the study of Jacobi matrix operators and make use of it to obtain a characterization of the spectral density function for a simple case involving absolutely continuous spectrum on the stability intervals.
Keywords: stability intervals., Periodic Jacobi matrix, absolutely continuous spectrum, discrete Schrödinger operator, Hill discriminant, Floquet solutions.
