Schrödinger difference equation with deterministic ergodic potentials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We review the recent developments in the theory of the one-dimensional tight-binding Schr"odinger equation for a class of deterministic ergodic potentials. In the typical examples the potentials are generated by substitutional sequences, like the Fibonacci or the Thue-Morse sequence. We concentrate on rigorous results which will be explained rather than proved. The necessary mathematical background is provided in the text.


Discrete Schrödinger operators (so-called tight-binding models) are reviewed, with focus on rigorous results, for a class of deterministic, ergodic potentials. Explicit examples are taken from substitution systems such as the Fibonacci or the Thue-Morse sequence. The spectral theory of such models is discussed in detail, with extensive list of references. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0880.00009].
