Abstract: We study the asymptotics for the lengths $L_N(q)$ of the instability tongues of Hill equations that arise as iso-energetic linearization of two coupled oscillators around a single-mode periodic orbit. We show that for small energies, i.e. $qightarrow0$, the instability tongues have the same behavior that occurs in the case of the Mathieu equation: $L_N(q)=O(q^N)$. The result follows from a theorem which fully characterizes the class of Hill equations with the same asymptotic behavior. In addition, in some significant cases we characterize the shape of the instability tongues for small energies. Motivation of the paper stems from recent mathematical works on the theory of suspension bridges.
