We study the spectrum structure of discrete second-order Neumann boundary valueproblems (NBVPs) with sign-changing weight. We apply the properties of characteristic determinant of theNBVPs to show that the spectrum consists of real and simple eigenvalues; the number of positive eigenvalues isequal to the number of positive elements in the weight function, and the number of negative eigenvaluesis equal to the number of negative elements in the weight function. We also show that the eigenfunctioncorresponding to the th positive/negative eigenvalue changes its sign exactly times
