Anderson Transition and Generalized Lyapunov Exponents (comment on comment by P.Markos, L.Schweitzer and M.Weyrauch, cond-mat/0402068)

Abstract

The generalized Lyapunov exponents describe the growth of the second moments for a particular solution of the quasi-1D Schroedinger equation with initial conditions on the left end. Their possible application in the Anderson transition theory became recently a subject for controversy in the literature. The approach to the problem of the second moments advanced by Markos et al (cond-mat/0402068) is shown to be trivially incorrect. The difference of approaches by Kuzovkov et al (cond-mat/0212036, cond-mat/0501446) and the present author (cond-mat/0504557, cond-mat/0512708) is discussed.
