โœฆ Synopsis

The phonon spectrum of a one-dimensional lattice with masses varying incommensurately with the underlying lattice is studied by a discrete version of a multiple-scale perturbation theory. From the resonances in the higher order correction terms we determine the location of the gaps in the spectrum. These resonances also provide a gap labeling in terms of two integers. Approximate analytic expressions are found predicting the behavior of the integrated density of states close to the two widest gaps and the exponential growth rate of the displacements within a gap. In the continuum limit the equation of motion of the discrete model reduces to the Mathieu equation.

It is proved that small periodic singular perturbation of a cylindrical waveguide surface may open a gap in the essential spectrum of the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace operator. If the perturbation period is long and the caverns in the cylinder are small, the gap certainly opens.

A semi-analytical time-integration procedure is presented in the following for the integration of discretized dynamic mechanical systems. This method utilizes the advantages of the boundary element method (BEM), well known from quasi-static ยฎeld problems. Motivated by these spatial formulations, the
