Wave localization is ubiquitous in disordered media -- from amorphous materials, where soft-mode localization is closely related to materials failure, to semi-conductors, where Anderson localization leads to metal-insulator transition. Our…
This paper introduces a nonlinear acceleration technique that accelerates the convergence of solution of transport problems with highly forward-peaked scattering. The technique is similar to a conventional high-order/low-order (HOLO)…

We report on the impact of variable-scale disorder on 3D Anderson localization of a non-interacting ultracold atomic gas. A spin-polarized gas of fermionic atoms is localized by allowing it to expand in an optical speckle potential. Using a…
We present two novel additions to the semi-analytic solution of Lyman $\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) radiative transfer in spherical geometry: (1) implementation of the correct boundary condition for a steady source, and (2) solution of the…
We follow the dynamics of nonlinear waves in two-dimensional disordered lattices with tunable nonlinearity. In the absence of nonlinear terms Anderson localization traps the packet in space. For the nonlinear case a destruction of Anderson…
We review recent progress in analysing wave scattering in systems with both intrinsic chaos and/or disorder and internal losses, when the scattering matrix is no longer unitary. By mapping the problem onto a nonlinear supersymmetric…

Stochastic (Anderson) localization is the spatial localization of the wave-function of quantum particles in random media. We show, that a corresponding phenomenon can stabilize spatial solitons in optical resonators: spatial solitons in…
We aim to analyze and calculate time-dependent acoustic wave scattering by a bounded obstacle and a locally perturbed non-selfintersecting curve. The scattering problem is equivalently reformulated as an initial-boundary value problem of…

We demonstrate that in pair plasma weakly nonlinear electromagnetic waves, $a_0 \leq 1$, experience Anderson self-localization. The beat between the driver and a back-scattered wave creates charge-neutral, large random density fluctuations…
This work proposes a general strategy for solving possibly nonlinear problems arising from implicit time discretizations as a sequence of explicit solutions. The resulting sequence may exhibit instabilities similar to those of the base…
We study analytically and numerically the Anderson model in one dimension with "stealthy" disorder, defined as having a power spectrum that vanishes in a continuous band of wave numbers. Motivated by recent studies on the optical…
We investigate the scaling properties of the two-dimensional (2D) Anderson model of localization with purely off-diagonal disorder (random hopping). Using the transfer-matrix method and finite-size scaling we compute the infinite-size…
The Anderson delocalization-localization transition is studied in multilayered systems with randomly placed interlayer bonds of density $p$ and strength $t$. In the absence of diagonal disorder (W=0), following an appropriate perturbation…
