Abstract:

<p>We consider the "weighted" operator <i>P<sub>k</sub>=â-‰â^'â-‰â^,<sub>x</sub> a(x)â^, <sub>x</sub></i> on the real line with a step-like coefficient which appears when propagation of waves through a finite slab of a periodic medium is studied. The medium is transparent at certain resonant frequencies which are related to the complex resonance spectrum of <i>P<sub>k</sub>.</i> If the coefficient is periodic on a finite interval (locally periodic) with <i>k</i> identical cells, then the resonance spectrum of <i>P<sub>k</sub></i> has band structure. In the article, we study a transition to semi-infinite medium by taking the limit <i>kâ†'â-‰â^žâ-‰.</i> The bands of resonances in the complex lower half plane are localized below the band spectrum of the corresponding periodic problem (<i>k=â^ž</i>) with <i>k</i>â-‰â^'â-‰1 or <i>k</i> resonances in each band. We prove that as <i>kâ†'â-‰â^žâ-‰</i>, the resonance spectrum converges to the real axis.</p>
