Abstract
We derive exact upper and lower bounds for the configurationally averaged partition function (Laplace transform of the density of states) of a multi-band Hamiltonian containing a stochastic potential. Simple examples are discussed and some conclusions are drawn with respect to the interplay of energetical and statistical correlations between the bands in determining the density of states in the gap.
