Abstract: We study discrete Schr"odinger operators $H$ with periodic potentials as they are typically used to approximate aperiodic Schr"odinger operators like the Fibonacci Hamiltonian. We prove an efficient test for applicability of the finite section method, a procedure that approximates $H$ by growing finite square submatrices $H_n$. For integer-valued potentials, we show that the finite section method is applicable as soon as $H$ is invertible. This statement remains true for $0,lambda$-valued potentials with fixed rational $lambda$ and period less than nine as well as for arbitrary real-valued potentials of period two.
