Abstract

A phenomenological model for a strongly disordered superconductor is considered. This is a modification of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer approach for a system with random phonon-electron interaction. We show that the instability of its mean field theory cannot be fitted by a power law with a positive exponent, in contrast to a recent result based on perturbation theory.
