Abstract

We present an extension of the Gilbert-Pearson theory of subordinacy, which relates dimensional Hausdorff spectral properties of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators to the behavior of solutions of the corresponding Schrödinger equation. We use this theory to analyze these properties for several examples having the singular-continuous spectrum, including sparse barrier potentials, the almost Mathieu operator and the Fibonacci Hamiltonian.
