We study Lam\'e operators of the form $$L = -\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + m(m+1)\omega^2\wp(\omega x+z_0),$$ with $m\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\omega$ a half-period of $\wp(z)$. For rectangular period lattices, we can choose $\omega$ and $z_0$ such that the…
We show that the spectrum of a discrete two-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger operator on a square lattice with a sufficiently small potential is an interval, provided the period is odd in at least one dimension. In general, we show that…

The paper is devoted to the study of the essential spectrum of discrete Schr\"{o}dinger operators on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^{N}$ by means of the limit operators method. This method has been applied by one of the authors to describe the…
We consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators with real periodic potentials on periodic graphs. The spectra of the operators consist of a finite number of bands. By "rolling up" a periodic graph along some appropriate directions we obtain…
Consider the Dirichlet Laplacian operator $-\Delta^D$ in a periodic waveguide $\Omega$. On the condition that $\Omega$ is sufficiently thin, we show that its spectrum $\sigma(-\Delta^D)$ is absolutely continuous (in each finite region). In…
We investigate spectral properties of the Laplace operator on a class of non-compact Riemannian manifolds. For a given number $N$ we construct periodic (i.e. covering) manifolds such that the essential spectrum of the corresponding…
We show that 2D periodic operators with local and perpendicular defects form an algebra. We provide an algorithm of finding spectrum for such operators. While the continuous spectral components can be computed by simple algebraic operations…
Precise asymptotics known for the Green's function of the Laplace operator have found their analogs for periodic elliptic operators of the second order at and below the bottom of the spectrum. Due to the band-gap structure of the spectra of…
Periodic $2$nd order ordinary differential operators on $\R$ are known to have the edges of their spectra to occur only at the spectra of periodic and antiperiodic boundary value problems. The multi-dimensional analog of this property is…
We study in a semiclassical regime a two-dimensional magnetic periodic Schr\"odinger operator. We first review some results for the square (Harper), triangular and hexagonal (case of the graphene) lattices. Then we study the case considered…
The behaviour of the spectral edges (embedded eigenvalues and resonances) is discussed at the two ends of the continuous spectrum of non-local discrete Schr\"odinger operators with a $\delta$-potential. These operators arise by replacing…
We introduce the periodic Airy-Schr\"odinger operator and we study its band spectrum. This is an example of an explicitly solvable model with a periodic potential which is not differentiable at its minima and maxima. We define a…
The spectrum of periodic differential operators typically exhibits a band-gap structure. In this paper, we will consider perturbations to periodic differential operators and investigate the spectrum the perturbation induces in the gaps.…
