-- This work presents the implementation of the recursion method proposed by Roger Haydock in the 80’s, for the calculation of the electronic density of states (DOS) projected on a specific atomic site (local DOS) of the system under study. This method does not solve the Schr¨odinger equation but the corresponding Green function. The main advantage of this method is that it can be applied to study large-size systems which are not possible with standard tools, as direct diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. To verify the performance of the method, I applied it to the calculation of the DOS of known systems such as finite linear chains, and finite square and cubic grids. After comparing the results employing the recursion and direct diagonalization methods a good agreement is found. To show tha relevance of the recursion method I studied the DOS of two different nanoscopic systems: copper nano-particles and finite graphene grids. In the first case I determined the threshold where the DOS of the copper nano-particles changes from a size-depending DOS to a typical DOS of the solid copper. The results indicate that the DOS of nano-particles of 2000 atoms; ie 3 nm diameter, do not present differences with the DOS of their solid counterparts. For the case of the finite graphene grids I studied the influence of the cutting edge on the DOS. The DOS of finite graphene grids of rhombic, triangular, square, ribbon and disc edge has been studied showing three kind of atoms with different local DOS: atoms with one, two and three first neighbours. In each finite grid the number of the surface atoms (with one and two first neighbours) changes producing different total DOS. The finite graphene grids that present minor influence of the surface are those of rhombic, hexagonal and ribbon edge type.
