A New Treatment for Some Periodic Schrodinger Operators I: The Eigenvalue

Abstract

We study the problem of how the Floquet property manifests for periodic Schrodinger operators, which are known to have multiple of asymptotic spectral solutions. The main conclusions are made for elliptic potentials, we demonstrate that for each period of the elliptic function there is a relation about the Floquet exponent and the monodromy of wave function. Among them there are two relations not explained by the classical Floquet theory. These relations produce both old and new asymptotic solutions consistent with results already known.
