Abstract: In this paper we consider Wannier functions of quasi-periodic g-gap ($ggeq1$) potentials and investigate their main properties. In particular, we discuss the problem of averaging underlying the definition of Wannier functions for both periodic and quasi-periodic potentials and express Bloch functions and quasi-momenta in terms of hyperelliptic $sigma$ functions. Using this approach we derive a power series expansion of the Wannier function for quasi-periodic potentials valid at $|x|simeq0$ and an asymptotic expansion valid at large distance. These functions are important for a number of applied problems.
