Jacobi Matrices with Rapidly Growing Weights Having Only Discrete Spectrum
(57K, LaTeX 2e)

ABSTRACT.  We establish sufficient conditions for self-adjointness on a class of unbounded Jacobi operators defined by matrices with main diagonal 
sequence of very slow growth and rapidly growing off-diagonal entries. 
With some additional assumptions, we also prove that these operators 
have only discrete spectrum.
