Spectral properties of one-dimensional disperse crystals

The connection between the spectral characteristics of the one-dimensional Schrödinger operator with periodic potential, asa, and the spectral characteristic of the Schrödinger operatorl(y)=–y+q(x)y with a decreasing potentialq(x) is studied.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
