We demonstrate a one-dimensional magnetic system can exhibit a Cantor-type spectrum using an example of a chain graph with $\delta$ coupling at the vertices exposed to a magnetic field perpendicular to the graph plane and varying along the…
We consider Laplacians on periodic metric graphs with unit-length edges. The spectrum of these operators consists of an absolutely continuous part (which is a union of an infinite number of non-degenerated spectral bands) plus an infinite…
In contrast to the usual quantum systems which have at most a finite number of open spectral gaps if they are periodic in more than one direction, periodic quantum graphs may have gaps arbitrarily high in the spectrum. This property of…
We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a straight planar strip perturbed by a bounded periodic symmetric operator. We prove the classical Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture for this operator, namely, that this operator has finitely many gaps in…
We locate gaps in the spectrum of a Hamiltonian on a periodic cuboidal (and generally hyperrectangular) lattice graph with $\delta$ couplings in the vertices. We formulate sufficient conditions under which the number of gaps is finite. As…
The spectrum of the self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operator associated with the Kronig-Penney model on the half-line has a band-gap structure: its absolutely continuous spectrum consists of intervals (bands) separated by gaps. We show that if…
The paper is concerned with the number of open gaps in spectra of periodic quantum graphs. The well-known conjecture by Bethe and Sommerfeld (1933) says that the number of open spectral gaps for a system periodic in more than one direction…
In this paper, we prove a discrete version of the Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture. Namely, we show that the spectra of multi-dimensional discrete periodic Schr\"odinger operators on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ lattice with sufficiently small potentials…
We present a variational study of employing the trigonometric basis functions satisfying periodic boundary condition for the accurate calculation of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of quartic double-well oscillators. Contrary to usual…
