The random energies ǫi have a bimodal probability distribu tion and an energy separation . We solve the DMFT equations by the numerical renormalization p group method at zero temperature, and calculate the spectral density as a function of disorder e S strength and interaction U at different fillings. For filling factors ν = x or 1 + x the lower or upper alloy subband is half filled and the system becomes a Mott insulator at strong interactions, 2 with a correlation gap at the Fermi level. At the metal–insulator transition hysteresis is observed. We also analyze the effective theory in the → ∞ limit and find good agreement between analytical ] and numerical results for the critical interaction Uc at which the metal–insulator transition occurs. l e - PACS numbers: 71.10.Fd, 71.27.+a, 71.30.+h r t s . t
