Synopsis

This paper deals with the number of eigenvalues which appear in the gaps of the spectrum of a Dirac system with real and periodic coefficients when the coefficients are perturbed. The main results provide an upper bound and a condition under which exactly one eigenvalue appears in a given gap.
