None of the studies about the rent gap theory of gentrification adresses the fundamental problem of its dependence on a distinction between actual and potential land rent. Contrary to some claims, there are no antecedents for the rent gap
in the history of economic ideas. The A. concludes that the standard neoclassical concept of land-use succession is more coherent than the rent gap concept.
In previous work investment and regional location have been analysed in terms of gaps or threshold that could be closed or passed in order to produce operational results (growth, local development). The topic is taken up again using a min-algebra
which has not yet be applied to spatial economics. Examples of multiple gap situations are given. Min-algebra are defined.

Neil Smith's rent gap hypothesis has attracted the most attention within several competing theories of gentrification. Three propositions are evaluated with data assembled for metropolitan Adelaide, Australia. Shifts in matched land and house price

, but an investment gap. Gentrification appears as a problem of maximisation under constraint and a subsubset of general home improvements. The A. concentrates on the supply side issues, and denies that the demand-side issues can be handled via explanations based
