We discuss a simple method for analysing the local scaling behavior of the fluctuations of random probability distributions. The usefulness of the method, based on a discrete wavelet approach, is illustrated for the case of Anderson localized wave functions, ψ(x), in one dimension, for which the standard multifractal analysis has led to controversial conclusions. The method suggests that |ψ(x;)|2 is not multifractal in space and has similar statistical properties as profiles generated by simple random walks in one dimension.

Abstract

We discuss a simple method for analysing the local scaling behavior of the fluctuations of random probability distributions. The usefulness of the method, based on a discrete wavelet approach, is illustrated for the case of Anderson localized wave functions, ψ(x), in one dimension, for which the standard multifractal analysis has led to controversial conclusions. The method suggests that |ψ(x;)|2 is not multifractal in space and has similar statistical properties as profiles generated by simple random walks in one dimension.
