Propagation of initially localized perturbations is investigated in chaotic coupled map lattices with long-range couplings decaying as a power of the distance. The initial perturbation propagates exponentially fast along the lattice, with a…
For a one dimensional half-infinite chain with diagonal disorder we calculated the ultimate at $t\to\infty$ value of the average excitation density at the edge site $D$ if at $t=0$ the excitation was localised at the edge site (Anderson' s…
A two-dimensional phononic crystal with asymmetric scatterers is used for the study of Anderson localization of sound along one-dimensional disorder produced by random orientation of metallic rods. An exponentially weak transmission of…
The statistical theory of certain complex wave interference phenomena, like the statistical fluctuations of transmission and reflection of waves, is of considerable interest in many fields of physics. In this article we shall be mainly…
We deal with the time-harmonic acoustic waves scattered by a large number of small holes, of maximal radius $a, a<<1$, arbitrary (i.e. not necessarily periodically) distributed in a bounded part of a homogeneous background. We show that as…
We analyze numerically localization of light in linear square waveguide arrays restricted in one dimension (``ribbons''), whose boundaries are disordered in propagation constant and/or coupling. We find that the disordered boundary induces…
We study the probability densities of finite-time or \local Lyapunov exponents (LLEs) in low-dimensional chaotic systems. While the multifractal formalism describes how these densities behave in the asymptotic or long-time limit, there are…
Wave propagation and acoustic scattering problems require vast computational resources to be solved accurately at high frequencies. Asymptotic methods can make this cost potentially frequency independent by explicitly extracting the…
We study Anderson localization in two-dimensional systems with purely off-diagonal disorder. Localization lengths are computed by the transfer-matrix method and their finite-size and scaling properties are investigated. We find various…
A one-dimensional chain of sporadic maps with asymmetric nearest neighbour couplings is numerically studied. It is shown that in the region of strong asymmetry the system becomes spatially fully synchronized, even in the thermodinamic…
We report a detailed and systematic study of wave propagation through a stochastic absorbing random medium. Stochastic absorption is modeled by introducing an attenuation constant per unit length $\alpha$ in the free propagation region of…
We develop a self-consistent theory of temporal fluctuations of a speckle pattern resulting from the multiple scattering of a coherent wave in a weakly nonlinear disordered medium. The speckle pattern is shown to become unstable if the…
The modified discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation is used to study the formation of stationary localized states in a one-dimensional lattice with a single impurity and an asymmetric dimer impurity. A periodically modulated and a…
We show that the sensitivity of wave speckle patterns in disordered nonlinear media to changes of scattering potential increases with sample size. For large enough sample size this quantity diverges, which implies that at given coherent…
We study time-harmonic scattering by a periodic array of penetrable, high-contrast obstacles with small period, confined to a bounded Lipschitz domain. The strong contrast between the obstacles and the background induces subwavelength…
Using exact diagonalization technique, we investigate the many-body localization phenomenon in the 1D Heisenberg chain comparing several disorder models. In particular we consider a family of discrete distributions of disorder strengths and…
The sensitivity of trajectories over finite time intervals t to perturbations of the initial conditions can be associated with a finite-time Lyapunov exponent lambda, obtained from the elements M_{ij} of the stability matrix M. For globally…
We suggest two metrics for assessing the quality of atomistic configurations of disordered materials, both of which are based on quantifying the orientational distribution of neighbours around each atom in the configuration. The first…
Anderson localization is the ubiquitous phenomenon of inhibition of transport of classical and quantum waves in a disordered medium. In dimension one, it is well known that all states are localized, implying that the distribution of an…
We analyze a one-dimensional XXZ spin chain in a disordered magnetic field. As the main probes of the system's behavior we use the sensitivity of eigenstates to adiabatic transformations, as expressed through the fidelity susceptibility, in…
