Refined asymptotics of the spectral gap for the Mathieu operator

Abstract: a b s t r a c tThe Mathieu operator L(y) = −y ′′ + 2a cos(2x)y, a ∈ C, a ̸ = 0, considered with periodic or anti-periodic boundary conditions has, close to n 2 for large enough n, two periodic (if n is even) or anti-periodic (if n is odd) eigenvalues λ − n , λ + n . For fixed a, we show thatThis result extends the asymptotic formula of Harrell-Avron-Simon by providing more asymptotic terms.

“…But it is impossible to apply Theorem 11 if the weight Ω is growing so slowly that 1 |k| Ω(k) = ∞. For example, this is the case if we consider the weight Ω given by For such weights, the next theorem gives conditions which guarantee that V (±2n) is the main term in the asymptotics of β ± n .…”

“…We refer to [11,12,15,16] for results about the asymptotics of β ± n , γ n = λ + n − λ − n , δ n = µ n − λ + n and Riesz basis property of root function systems in the case of potentials that are trigonometric polynomials. See also [2,1] and the bibliography therein.…”

“…a j cos(2jt), Levy and Keller [28] (see also [4] for a different approach) proved that the length of the N -th resonance interval is at most C N q r , where r is the integer part of N/s, and presented explicit formulas for C N when N is a multiple of s (see also [23], and [37] for interesting extensions to a generalized Ince equation). For the similar, and partly related, problem of the asymptotics of L N as N → ∞, we refer to [6,2]. In this paper we prove the following theorem which shows that, for every equation 1.1 coupled with 1.2, the instability tongues have at least the same order of tangency of the Mathieu equation, that is L N (q) = O(q N ) as q → 0.…”

“…Formulas (5) and (6) can be obtained from − Ψ ′′ n,t (x) + q(x)Ψ n,t = λ n (t)Ψ n,t (x) (7) by multiplying e i(2πn+t)x and e i(2π(n−k)+t)x respectively. The uniform asymptotic formulas for the operator L t (q),with q ∈ L 1 [0, 1], generated in L 2 [0, 1] by (1) and (3) is obtained in [9], where we proved the following:…”

“…where a and b are complex numbers. It is well-known that (see [4,8]) the spectrum S(H(a, b)) of the operator H(a, b) is the union of the spectra S(H t (a, b)) of the operators H t (a, b) for t ∈ (−π, π], where H t (a, b) is the operator generated in L 2 [0, 1] by (1) with potential (2) and by the boundary conditions y(1) = e it y(0), y ′ (1) = e it y ′ (0).…”
