Abstract

We present an improved numerical approach to the study of disorder and interactions in quasi-1D systems which combines aspects of the transfer matrix method and the density matrix renormalization group which have been successfully applied to disorder and interacting problems respectively. The method is applied to spinless fermions in 1D and a generalization to finite cross-sections is outlined.
