Abstract
We discuss the difference Schrödinger equation \({\psi_{k+1}+\psi_{k-1}+\lambda \cot(\pi(\omega k+\theta))\psi_k=E\psi_k}\), \({k \in \mathbb{Z}}\), where \({\lambda}\), \({\omega}\), \({\theta}\) and E are parameters. We obtain explicit renormalization formulas relating its solutions for large \({|k|}\) to solutions of the equation with new parameters \({\lambda}\), \({\omega}\), \({\theta}\) and E for bounded \({|k|}\). These formulas are similar to the renormalization formulas from the theory of Gaussian exponential sums.
