摘要: In this paper we consider various regularity results for discrete quasiperiodic Schr6dinger equations --n+l - Pn-1 + V(9 nw)on = EOn with analytic potential V. We prove that on intervals of positivity the Lyapunov exponent integrated density states is Holder continuous in energy provided w has a typical continued fraction expansion. The proof based certain sharp large deviation theorems norms monodromy matrices and "avalanche-principle". latter refers to mechanism allows us write norm matrix as product many short blocks. multi-frequency case shown have modulus continuity form exp(- log tl) some 0 < 1, but currently do not obtain more than one frequency. also present proving disorders general class equations. only requirement approach weak theorem exponents. particular, an independent Herman-Sorets-Spencer case. related recent nonperturbative Anderson localization quasi-periodic by J. Bourgain M. Goldstein.
