Synopsis

Denote by (αj, βj), j = 1, 2, … an infinite set of disjoint open intervals on the half-line (0, ∞). Suppose that the following conditions are fulfilled:

With the aid of the first two trace formula presented earlier by the author, we prove in this paper that there exists a function q, defined on the whole real line, such that for the Schrödinger equation −y″ + q(x)y = λy (−∞<x<∞), the intervals (αj, βj) are spectrum lacunae. As an example, we consider the case when the intervals (αj, βj) are adjacent intervals of the Cantor trinary perfect set.
