Abstract
A direct and exact method for calculating the density of states for systems with localized potentials is presented. The method is based on explicit inversion of the operator . The operator is written in the discrete variable representation of the Hamiltonian, and the Toeplitz property of the asymptotic part of the obtained {\it infinite} matrix is used. Thus, the problem is reduced to the inversion of a {\it finite} matrix.
