  We show analytically that, under certain assumptions, the periodic Anderson
model and the Hubbard model become equivalent within the dynamical mean field
theory for quasiparticle weight Z -> 0. A scaling relation is derived which is
validated numerically using the numerical renormalization group at zero
temperature and quantum Monte Carlo simulations at finite temperatures. Our
results show that the f-electrons of the half-filled periodic Anderson model
with nearest neighbor hybridization get localized at a finite critical
interaction strength U_c}, also at zero temperature. This transition is
equivalent to the Mott-transition in the Hubbard model.
