Abstract
In this paper, we give an asymptotic estimate for the entropy, i.e., the sum of all positive Lya-

We call Ld (α, SE,W ) the entropy of the operator (1.1). In the case d = 1, SE,W λV λV is actually a 2 × 2 matrix and L1 (α, SE,W ) is in fact the non-negative Lyapunov exponent of (α, SE,W ). λV In this paper, we are interested in the asymptotic estimate of Ld (α, SE,W ) when the coupling constant λ tends to the infinity. λV For fixed E, α, W, V , capturing the behavior of Ld (α, SE,W ) for large coupling constant λ has been richly studied. Notice that (1.1) reduces to the famous almost Mathieu operator if ν = 1 and V, W are 2λ cos equal to 2 cos 2π(·). Its eigenvalue equation is equivalent to (α, SE,2 cos ). The pioneer work was due to Herman [18] who proved that 2λ cos L1 (α, SE,2 cos ) > ln λ
