We have studied the critical behaviour of a doped Mott insulator near the m
etal-insulator transition for the infinite-dimensional Hubbard model using
a linearized form of dynamical mean-field theory. The discontinuity in the
chemical potential in the change from hole to electron doping. for U larger
than a critical value U-c, has been calculated analytically and is found t
o be in good agreement with the results of numerical methods. We have also
derived analytic expressions for the compressibility, the quasiparticle wei
ght. the double occupancy and the local spin susceptibility near half-filli
ng as functions of the on-site Coulomb interaction and the doping.
