A Sears-type self-adjointness result for discrete magnetic Schrödinger operators

In the context of a weighted graph with vertex set $V$ and bounded vertex degree, we give a sufficient condition for the essential self-adjointness of the operator $Δ_σ+W$, where $Δ_σ$ is the magnetic Laplacian and $W\colon V\to\mathbb{R}$ is a function satisfying $W(x)\geq -q(x)$ for all $x\in V$, with $q\colon V\to [1,\infty)$. The condition is expressed in terms of completeness of a metric that depends on $q$ and the weights of the graph. The main result is a discrete analogue of the results of I. Oleinik and M. A. Shubin in the setting of non-compact Riemannian manifolds.
