We consider damped and forced discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}$. First we establish the existence of periodic and quasiperiodic breather solutions for periodic and quasiperiodic driving, respectively.…

Understanding the realization of thermal equilibrium through the thermalization process in a many-body system is a fundamental and complex scientific question, bridging thermodynamics and classical dynamics and connecting to a host of…

The structural description for the intriguing link between the fast vibrational dynamics and slow diffusive dynamics in glass-forming systems is one of the most challenging issues in physical science. Here, in a model of metallic…

First, we present a two-dimensional lattice gas model with anisotropic interactions which explains the experimentally observed transition from a dominant c(2x2) ordering of the CdTe(001) surface to a local (2x1) arrangement of the Cd atoms…

We study the localization of collective pair excitations in weakly-interacting Bose superfluids in one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattices. The localization diagram is first determined numerically. For intermediate interaction and…

The description of activated relaxation of glassy systems in the multidimensional configurational space is a long-standing open problem. We develop a phenomenological description of the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a model with a rough…

A new master equation to mimic the dynamics of a collection of interacting random walkers in an open system is proposed and solved numerically.In this model, the random walkers interact through excluded volume interaction (single-file…

We propose a model for charge density waves in ring shaped crystals, which depicts frustration between intra- and inter-chain couplings coming from cylindrical bending. It is then mapped to a three dimensional uniformly frustrated XY model…

This article is devoted to the study of two-dimensional Bose gases harmonically confined. We first summarize their equilibrium properties. For such a gas above the critical temperature, we also derive the frequencies and the damping of the…

Understanding glass formation by quenching remains a challenge in soft condensed matter physics. Recent numerical studies on steepest descent dynamics, which is one of the simplest models of quenching, revealed that quenched liquids undergo…

Recently, using a numerical surface cooling approach, we have shown that highly energetic discrete breathers (DB) can form in the stiffest parts of nonlinear network models of large protein structures. In the present study, using an…

Systems whose potential energies consists of pieces that scale as r^-2 together with pieces that scale as r^2, show no violent relaxation to Virial equilibrium but may pulsate at considerable amplitude for ever. Despite this pulsation these…

Confinement of excitations induces quasilocalized dynamics in disorder-free isolated quantum many-body systems in one spatial dimension. This occurrence is signalled by severe suppression of quantum correlation spreading and of entanglement…

We study numerically how the energy spreads over a finite disordered nonlinear one-dimensional lattice, where all linear modes are exponentially localized by disorder. We establish emergence of dynamical thermalization, characterized as an…

This work addresses the problem of relaxation of open systems to quasi-equilibrium states. Time-dependent density matrix of two arbitrary coupled quantum oscillators of arbitrary properties interacting with separate reservoirs is derived…

Disorder plays a crucial role in many systems particularly in solid state physics. However, the disorder in a particular system can usually not be chosen or controlled. We show that the unique control available for ultracold atomic gases…

We study two-dimensional excitons confined in a lattice potential, for high fillings of the lattice sites. We show that a quasi-condensate is possibly formed for small values of the lattice depth, but for larger ones the critical…

We study the dynamics of discrete breathers -- spatially localized and time-periodic solutions -- inside the bandgap of a nonlinear honeycomb lattice where the dispersion landscape approaches a so-called semi-Dirac point in which the bands…

The unique geometry of the two-dimensional tripartite Kagome lattice is responsible for shaping diverse families of spatially localized and time-periodic nonlinear modes known as discrete breathers. We state conditions for the existence of…

The manipulation of locked intrinsic localized modes/discrete breathers is studied experimentally in nonlinear electric transmission line arrays. Introducing a static lattice impurity in the form of a capacitor, resistor or inductor has…
