β¦ Synopsis
We argue that the Thouless criterion for localization is universal. Because the Thouless number 6 is the ratio of the width and spacing of the modes of the sample, it can be adjusted by changing the macroscopic characteristics of the sample, such as the transverse dimensions, the reflectivity at the boundaries and the character of internal microstructure resonances. We find the dependence of the correlation parameter 8 -1 and hence of the proximity to the localization threshold upon these characteristics. These results are illustrated by microwave and optical experiments.

A simple proof of Anderson localization is obtained. This is done by giving a bound on the averaged time evolution and then ruling out the existence of any continuous spectrum for large disorder with the help of the RAGE theorem. Furthermore the decoupling lemma of Aizenman and Molchanov is extended
A new approach is presented for selecting alarm thresholds in a simple fault detection system. Bounds are computed on the magnitudes of the minimum detectable fault and the maximum non-detectable fault. The use of the 2-norm for this calculation results in a linear matrix inequality (LMI) problem. A
