Perturbation of a periodic operator by a narrow potential

We consider perturbations of a second-order periodic operator on the line; the Schrödinger operator with a periodic potential is a specific case of such an operator. The perturbation is realized by a potential depending on two small parameters, one of which describes the length of the potential support, and the inverse value of other corresponds to the value of the potential. We obtain sufficient conditions for the perturbing potential to have eigenvalues in the gaps of the continuous spectrum. We also construct their asymptotic expansions and present sufficient conditions for the eigenvalues of the perturbing potential to be absent.
