Our contribution is two-fold: (a) we count extrema on grid graphs with a small number of randomly added edges and show the behavior to coincide with the 1957 prediction of Longuet-Higgins for the continuous case and (b) we compute the regularity of their spatial distribution using discrepancy, which is a classical measure from the theory of Monte Carlo integration. The first part suggests that grid graphs with randomly added edges should behave like two-dimensional surfaces with ergodic geodesic flow; in the second part we show that the extrema are more regularly distributed in space than the grid Z2.","lang":"eng"}],"oa_version":"None","issue":"6","publication":"Physics Letters, Section A","publication_status":"published","scopus_import":1,"quality_controlled":"1","title":"On the distribution of local extrema in quantum chaos","_id":"1938","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-8379-3768","full_name":"Pausinger, Florian","first_name":"Florian","id":"2A77D7A2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Pausinger"},{"last_name":"Steinerberger","full_name":"Steinerberger, Stefan","first_name":"Stefan"}],"doi":"10.1016/j.physleta.2014.12.010","month":"03","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:54:49Z","citation":{"short":"F.
