Eigenvalues of an infinite matrix

254 Views Asked by At

I have matrix elements

$$ H_{mn} = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{(m-n)^2} & m \neq n \\ 0 & m=n \end{cases}$$

If the indices extend to infinity what are the eigenvalues of this matrix? I'm sure this question is terribly formed, but I'm a physicist, so any suggestions on how to tackle this problem are appreciated.
