“…These two classes of MEFA families have been studied extensively in the past; see [BIST,BIT,D98a,DKL,DL99a,DL99b,DP86,IT,IRT,HKS,J91,Ka,Ra,Sü87,Sü89] and [Be,BBG91,BBG92,BG93,D98b,D98c,D99b,DP91,H,HKS] for some important contributions in the case of circle map models and substitution models, respectively. The results comprise in particular singular continuity of spectral measures, zero Lebesgue measure of the spectrum, Gap labelling via K-theory, opening of the gaps at low coupling, continuity of gap boundaries with respect to the rotation number, and uniform existence of the Lyapunov exponent for large subclasses.…”
