Abstract
In this paper a new approach to the problem of electron propagation in one-dimensional arrays is developed. The approach is based on the concept of reflectance defined in the paper and propagation or non-propagation is determined by the single question of the reflectances being unity or not. This notion throws fresh insight into the localized state in one-dimensional systems and here the notion that all electrons in one-dimensional systems are localized is discussed.
