We prove that the normalized eigenvalue counting measure of $J_n$ converges weakly to a limiting measure $μ$ as $n\to\infty$. We also extend to the non-Hermitian case the Thouless formula relating $μ$ and the Lyapunov exponent of the second-order difference equation associated with the sequence $J_n$. The measure $μ$ is shown to be log-Hölder continuous.14 pagesMathematical Physics82B44Thouless formula for random non-Hermitian Jacobi matricestext
