Abstract

We study numerically the frequency modulated kicked nonlinear rotator with effective dimension d=1,2,3,4d=1,2,3,4. We follow the time evolution of the model up to 10910^9 kicks and determine the exponent α\alpha of subdiffusive spreading which changes from 0.350.35 to 0.50.5 when the dimension changes from d=1d=1 to 44. All results are obtained in a regime of relatively strong Anderson localization well below the Anderson transition point existing for d=3,4d=3,4. We explain that this variation of the exponent is different from the usual dd-dimensional Anderson models with local nonlinearity where α\alpha drops with increasing dd. We also argue that the renormalization arguments proposed by Cherroret N et al. arXiv:1401.1038 are not valid.
