Abstract

We show that the peak of an initially localized wave packet in one-dimensional nonlinear disordered chains decays more slowly than any power law of time. The systems under investigation are Klein-Gordon and nonlinear disordered Schr\"odinger-type chains, characterized by a harmonic onsite disordered potential and quartic nearest-neighbor coupling. Our results apply in the long-time limit, hold almost surely, and are valid for arbitrary finite energy values.
