Abstract: The average density of states (DoS) of the one-dimensional Dirac Hamiltonian with a random mass on a finite interval [0,L] is derived. Our method relies on the eigenvalues distributions (extreme value statistics problem) which are explicitly obtained. The well-known Dyson singularity <rho(epsilon;L)>sim-L/|epsilon|ln^3|epsilon| is recovered above the crossover energy epsilon_csim exp-sqrt{L}. Below epsilon_c we find a log-normal suppression of the average DoS <rho(epsilon;L)> sim 1/(|epsilon|sqrt(L))exp(-(ln^2|epsilon|)/L).
