摘要
We investigate the maximality properties of the second periodic eigenvalue of the Hill's operator. The potential function is normalized so that its average over a period is zero. Apart from its own significance, this question is related to the study of the motion-by-curvature equation. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
