Resumen:
Two recent theories study the distribution wL(M) of the transfer matrix M of a disordered conductor of length L, making, at different stages, a maximum-entropy hypothesis. One theory assumes a mean free path and describes the L evolution of wL(M) by a diffusion equation; the other assumes a density qL(±) of inverse localization lengths and proposes an ansatz for wL(M). Results agree with microscopic calculations. Here, we prove the equivalence of the two theories, if the density qL(±) given by the first is used in the second one. We also find a uniform qL(±), as confirmed by independent numerical calculations. © 1989 The American Physical Society.
