Almost periodic Schrödinger operators IV. The Maryland model

Abstract

The analysis of discrete Schrödinger operators of the form (hu)(n) = u(n + 1) + u(n − 1) + λ tan(παn + θ) u(n) is discussed. Depending on Diophantine properties of α, the spectrum may be dense point, singular continuous or a mixture of the two.
