Young [17] proved the positivity of Lyapunov exponent in a large set of the energies for some quasi-periodic cocycles. Her result is also proved to be applicable for some quasi-periodic Schrödinger cocycles by Zhang [18]. However, her result cannot be applied to the Schrödinger cocycles with the potential $ v = \cos(4\pi x)+w( x) $, where $ w\in C^2(\mathbb R/\mathbb Z,\mathbb R) $ is a small perturbation. In this paper, we will improve her result such that it can be applied to more cocycles.

Keywords: Quasi-periodic cocycle, Schrödinger cocycle, Lyapunov exponent.
