37. Actually the transition between the localized and the delocalized ground state occurs where the latter becomes unstable only for sufficiently large lattices. On smaller lattices the situation is more complex, and presents some interesting features. For further details see Ref. and P. Buonsante, P. G. Kevrekidis, V. Penna, and A. Vezzani (unpublished).
