Properties of some elliptic Hill's potentials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study Hill's differential equation with potentials expressed by elliptic functions which arises in some problems of physics and mathematics. Analytical method can be applied to study the local properties of the potential in asymptotic regions of the parameter space. The locations of the saddle points of the potential are determined, the locations of turning points can be determined too when they are close to a saddle point. These local data are useful to study the asymptotic eigensolutions. We explain results about the generalisation of Floquet theorem for ODE with doubly-periodic elliptic function coefficient which bears some new features compared to the case of ODE with real valued singly-periodic coefficient. Some global properties of the elliptic potential are studied using numerical method.
