N2 - We consider the spectrum of a class of positive, second-order elliptic systems of partial differential equations defined in the plane R2 . The coefficients of the equation are assumed to have a special form, namely, they are doubly periodic and of high contrast. More precisely, the plane R2 is decomposed into an infinite union of the translates of the rectangular periodicity cell Ω0, and this in turn is divided into two components, on each of which the coefficients have different, constant values. Moreover, the second component of Ω0 consist of a neighborhood of the boundary of the cell of the width h and thus has an area comparable to h, where h > 0 is a small parameter. Using the methods of asymptotic analysis we study the position of the spectral bands as h → 0 and in particular show that the spectrum has at least a given, arbitrarily large number of gaps, provided h is small enough.
