Abstract: In this paper we discuss three methods to calculate energy splitting in cosine potential on a circle, Bloch waves, semi--classical approximation and restricted basis approach. While the Bloch wave method gives only a qualitative result, with the WKB method we are able to determine its unknown coefficients. The numerical approach is most exact and enables us to extract further corrections to previous results.
