Abstract

In this paper we study the behavior of the integrated density of states of random acoustic operators of the form Aω=—∇1/ϱω∇. When ϱ ω is considered as an Anderson type long range perturbations of some periodic function, the behavior of the integrated density of states of A ω in the vicinity of the internal spectral edges is given.
