Abstract
An analytical procedure has been developed for calculating the localization length describing the exponential growth of the representative resistance in a one-dimensional disordered system and the associated residual resistance. The present results are compared to numerical simulations performed using a novel set of recurrence relations which provide a rapid and accurate method for computer studies of one-dimensional systems.Keywords
