HARRY HOCHSTADT The purpose of this note is to state and prove the following theorem. Theorem. Consider the Hill's equation (1) y" +[a + q(t)]y = 0, where q(t+ir) =q(t), and q(t) is bounded. Let X, denote the ith eigenvalue corresponding to which a solution of (1) has period t, and X' those corresponding to which (1) has a solution of period 2ir. It is well known [l] that for these eigenvalues Xo < Ai" Ú \l < Xi ^ X2 < X8' Û \í < X3 á X4 < • • • and for all X in the intervals (2) (Xo, X/), (Xa, XO, (X2, XO, (X/, X3), • • • has only bounded solutions. For X outside those intervals unbounded solutions occur. These intervals (— », Xo), (X/, X2), (Xi, X2), (X/, X/) • • • are known as the instability intervals. Then if q(t) has m continuous derivatives it follows that
