Spectral properties of the Hill operator (Q325675): Difference between revisions

The Hill operator \(L_{\theta}\), \(\theta \in [0, 1]\), generated on the interval \([0,\omega]\) by the differential expression \[ l(x) = -x'' - v x, \quad (v \in L_2[0, \omega]), \] and the boundary conditions \[ x(\omega) = e^{i \pi \theta} x(0), \quad x'(\omega) = e^{i \pi \theta} x'(0), \] is studied. The authors derive precise asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues of \(L_{\theta}\) in terms of the Fourier coefficients of the potential \(v\). They also obtain sufficient conditions for the operator \(L_{\theta}\) to be spectral in the sense of Dunford, and provide the estimates for the spectral projections. The research is based on the method of similar operators.
