Summary: In this note, we consider 1D lattice Schrödinger operators with deterministic strongly mixing potentials as studied in [\textit{V. Chulaevsky} and \textit{T. Spencer}, Commun. Math. Phys. 168, No. 3, 455--466 (1995; Zbl 0821.60070)] and [\textit{J. Bourgain} and \textit{W. Schlag}, Commun. Math. Phys. 215, No. 1, 143--175 (2000; Zbl 1040.81014)] with very small coupling. We describe a scheme to establish positivity of the Lyapunov exponent from a statement at some fixed scale. The required input may then be derived from Furstenberg theory, if the underlying dynamics are sufficiently mixing, or verified directly by numerical means.
