Abstract
The structure of eigenstates for the ensembles of standard and periodic Band Random Matrices (BRM) is analysed. The main attention is drawn to the scaling properties of the inverse participation ratio and other measures of localization length. Numerical data are compared with analytical results recently derived for standard BRMs of very large band size. The data for periodic and standard BRM allow us to exhibit the influence of boundary conditions on the properties of eigenstates.
