Abstract

We study the continuous spectrum of the Hill—Schrödinger operator in a Hilbert space L2(R). The operator potential belongs to a Sobolev space Hloc−1(R). The conditions are found for the sequence of lengths of spectral gaps to: a) be bounded; b) converge to zero. The case where the potential is a real Radon measure on R is studied separately.
