Abstract
The homogenization procedure for a multidimensional periodic Schrödinger operator near the edge of an internal gap is discussed. We obtain an approximation for the resolvent in the small period limit with respect to the operator norm in L2(ℝd). This approximation contains oscillations but in a simpler form than the resolvent of the initial operator. Bibliography: 8 titles.
