31. Since the sequence is not symmetric, the Fibonacci Hamiltonian is only approximately self-dual. Nevertheless, the critical point remains located at (formula presented)

41. Actually, the exact calculation of the exponent (formula presented) was done in Ref. 16 for a directed walk problem. The aperiodic modulation of the weights corresponds in the present problem to the two-letter substitutions obtained by replacing A by (formula presented) and B by (formula presented) in the period-doubling sequence. One expects the same critical behavior since the wandering exponent is not modified by this decoration of the sequence. This is supported by numerical data.
