    In this article we study the possible size of support of solutions to the discrete stationary Schrodinger equation Ξ”u(x)+V(x)u(x)=0\Delta u(x)+V(x)u(x)=0 in Zd\mathbb{Z}^d. We show that for any nonzero solution to any discrete stationary Schrodinger equation the dimension of the support is at least log⁑2(d)βˆ’7.\log_2(d)-7. In the related setting of Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-valued harmonic functions in Zd\mathbb{Z}^d one can improve the estimate on support's dimension to log⁑2(d).\log_2(d). However, we also provide an example where a Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-valued harmonic function in Zd\mathbb{Z}^d has a fractal-like support with dimension log⁑2(d)+1\log_2(d)+1. This fractal satisfies a recurrence relation: X=2X+{e1,βˆ’e1,…,ed,βˆ’ed}.X = 2X+\{e_1,-e_1,\dots,e_d,-e_d\}. This example and estimate provide an answer to the Malinnikova's question about the smallest size of set XβŠ‚ZdX\subset\mathbb{Z}^d such that no cross contains exactly one point of XX
