A three-parameters family of special double confluent Heun equations, with real parameters \(l\), \(\lambda\), \(\mu\), is considered. The study of the real part of the spectral curve leads to applications to model of Josephson junction which is a family of dynamical systems on 2-torus depending on parameters \((B, A, \omega)\), where \(\omega\) is called the frequency. The authors provide an approach to study the boundaries of the phase-lock areas in \(\mathbb R^2(B, A)\) and their solutions, as \(\omega\) decreases to 0.They prove the irreducibility of the complex spectral curve \(\Gamma_l\) for every \(l\in\mathbb N\). They calculate its genus for \(l\le 20\) and present a conjecture on general genus formula. They apply the irreducibility result to the complexified boundaries of the phase-lock areas of model of Josephson junction. They show as well that its complexification is a complex analytic subset consisting of just four two-dimensional irreducible components, and describe them. They prove that the spectral curve has no real ovals. Finally, they present a Monotonicity Conjecture on the evolution of the phase-lock area portraits, as \(\omega\) decreases, and a partial positive result towards its confirmation.
