Abstract
The Anderson model of a 1 d disordered system is investigated using two independent numerical methods. The dc-conductivity, the inverse participation number, and the mean square extension of some eigenstates are calculated. Some transition from a conducting to a non-conducting state is found at a finite disorder in contradiction to the conventional theory. The implications of the results for the theory of disordered systems are discussed.
