Abstract
Let γnγn denote the length of the n th zone of instability of the Hill operator Ly=−y″−[4tαcos2x+2α2cos4x]yLy=−y″−[4tαcos2x+2α2cos4x]y, where α≠0α≠0, and either both α, t are real, or both are pure imaginary numbers. For even n we prove: if t, n are fixed, then for α→0α→0γn=|8αn2n[(n−1)!]2∏k=1n/2(t2−(2k−1)2)|(1+O(α)), and if α, t are fixed, then for n→∞n→∞γn=8|α/2|n[2⋅4⋯(n−2)]2|cos(π2t)|[1+O(lognn)]. The asymptotics for α→0α→0, for n=2mn=2m, imply the following identities for squares of integers:∑∏s=1k(m2−is2)=∑1⩽j1<⋯
