Abstract
The character of the localization of the wave functions of an icosahed ral quasicrystal is investigated in the tight-binding approximation. I t is found that the wave functions exhibit ''critical behavior'': they are neither localized, as in the case of Anderson localization, nor d elocalized, as in the case of Bloch states.
