In 1980 Kunz and Souillard developed a method which provided the first mathematically rigorous proof of localization for the discrete one-dimensional Anderson model. While other, more powerful, methods to prove localization were found later, the Kunz-Souillard method has two interesting features which still deserve notice: It directly establishes a strong form of dynamical localization (proven much later with other methods) and it allows for very general deterministic background terms in the potential. In my talk I will review the Kunz-Souillard method and discuss recent work with D. Damanik, which uses the Kunz-Souillard approach to prove localization for continuum one-dimensional Anderson models. In particular, we can allow for more general background potentials than previous works.
