Suppose that $V(x)$ is an exponentially localized potential and $L$ is a constant coefficient differential operator. A method for computing the spectrum of $L+V(x-x_1) + ... + V(x-x_N)$ given that one knows the spectrum of $L+V(x)$ is described. The method is functional theoretic in nature and does not rely heavily on any special structure of $L$ or $V$ apart from the exponential localization. The result is aimed at applications involving the existence and stability of multi-pulses in partial differential equations.
