This paper deals with the one-dimensional non-Hermitian Schrödinger equation of the form \[ e^{i\theta_n} \psi_{n+1}+ e^{i\chi_n} \psi_{n-1}= E\psi_n \] which was first introduced by Feinberg and Zee, where \(E\) is the energy. Both \(\theta_n\) and \(\chi_n\) are uniformly distributed between \(0\) and \(2\pi\), and they are all independent. Using numerical methods, the authors calculate the Lyapunov exponent \(\gamma(E)\) and the density of states \(\rho(E)\). Moreover, the authors present expansions of \(\rho(E)\) in powers of \(E\).
