Linearly Recurrent Circle Map Subshifts and an Application to Schrödinger Operators

Abstract. We discuss circle map sequences and subshifts generated by them. We give a characterization of those sequences among them which are linearly recurrent. As an application we deduce zero-measure spectrum for a class of discrete one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with potentials generated by circle maps.
