Distribution of spectrum in limit point case without full spectral asymptotics

Develop results that give quantitative control of the eigenvalue-counting function or spectral distribution for Jacobi operators or canonical systems in limit point case without assuming a full spectral asymptotic expansion, i.e., provide density or type bounds analogous to the limit circle case.

Background

While the limit point case has a substantial literature on detailed spectral asymptotics, there appear to be no results that provide large-scale spectral distribution bounds (e.g., growth of the counting function) without deriving full asymptotic expansions.

Filling this gap would mirror the density-oriented theory developed for the limit circle case and extend it to operators with limit point behaviour.

References

We do not know results that make assertions about the distribution of the spectrum in limit point case without knowing actual asymptotics.
