Spectrum of Hatano–Nelson model with strictly ergodic potentials
摘要
We provide a precise formula for the spectrum of the Hatano–Nelson model with strictly ergodic potentials in terms of its Lyapunov exponent. As applications, one clearly observes the real-complex spectrum transition. Moreover, if the Lyapunov exponent is continuous, the spectrum of the Hatano–Nelson model in ℓ 2(ℤ) can be approximated by the spectrum of its finite-interval truncation with periodic boundary conditions. Both of these results are strikingly different from the Hatano–Nelson model with random potentials [11, 12, 13].
