On half‐line spectra for a class of non‐self‐adjoint Hill operators

Publication date 12 February 2004

Abstract: In 1980, Gasymov showed that non-self-adjoint Hill operators with complex-valued periodic potentials of the type

V (x) = s u m_{k = 1}^{i n f t y} a_{k} e^{i k x}

, with

s u m_{k = 1}^{i n f t y} | a_{k} | < i n f t y

, have spectra

[0, i n f t y)

. In this note, we provide an alternative and elementary proof of this result.
