We study experimentally and theoretically discrete solitons in crystalline structures consisting of several tens of laser-cooled ions confined in a radiofrequency trap. Resonantly exciting localized, spectrally gapped vibrational modes of…

We address the issue of mobility of localized modes in two-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger lattices with saturable nonlinearity. This describes e.g. discrete spatial solitons in a tight-binding approximation of two-dimensional optical…

We study the existence, stability, and mobility of fundamental discrete solitons in two- and three-dimensional nonlinear Schroedinger lattices with a combination of cubic self-focusing and quintic self-defocusing onsite nonlinearities.…

The concept of the moduli space allows for a simple, universally applicable description of the low-energy dynamics of topological solitons. This description is remarkably insensitive to the properties of the underlying theory, whose details…

New aspects of a relation between lattice and dislocation structures are examined within a physically transparent theoretical scheme. Predicted features originating from the lattice discreteness include: (i) multiple core dislocation…

Modeling dispersed solid phases in fluids still represents a computational challenge when considering a small-scale coupling in wide systems, such as the atmosphere or industrial processes at high Reynolds numbers. A numerical method is…

We demonstrate that periodic modulation of the nonlinearity coefficient in the discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger (DNLS) equation can strongly facilitate creation of traveling solitons in the lattice. We predict this possibility in an…

We model discrete spatial solitons in a periodic nonlinear medium encompassing any degree of transverse non locality. Making a convenient reference to a widely used material -nematic liquid crystals-, we derive a new form of the discrete…

We study the effect of disorder on the particle density evolution in a classical Hamiltonian driven lattice setup. If the disorder is localized within a finite sub-domain of the lattice, the emergence of strong tails in the density…

We derive a class of discrete nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger (DNLS) equations for general polynomial nonlinearity whose stationary solutions can be found from a reduced two-point algebraic problem. It is demonstrated that the derived class of…

We study the mobility of small-amplitude solitons attached to moving defects which drag the solitons across a two-dimensional (2D) discrete nonlinear-Schr\"{o}dinger (DNLS) lattice. Findings are compared to the situation when a free…

Dynamics of solitons of the Ablowitz-Ladik model in the presence of a random potential is studied. In absence of the random potential it is an integrable model and the solitons are stable. As a result of the random potential this stability…

The theory of the dislocation motion in the periodic potential relief of the crystal lattice (the Peierls-Nabarro barriers) is reviewed. On the basis of the kink mechanism the temperature dependence of the flow stress is described for a…

Using molecular dynamics simulations we study the slow dynamics of a hard sphere fluid confined in a disordered porous matrix. The presence of both discontinuous and continuous glass transitions as well as the complex interplay between…

Spatial diffusion of particles in periodic potential models has provided a good framework for studying the role of chaos in global properties of classical systems. Here a bidimensional "soft" billiard, classically modeled from an optical…

We study the dynamics of solitons under the action of one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattice potentials, fractional diffraction, and nonlinearity. The formation and stability of the solitons is investigated in the framework of the fractional…

In this paper we study the connection between four models describing dislocation dynamics: a generalized 2D Frenkel-Kontorova model at the atomic level, the Peierls-Nabarro model, the discrete dislocation dynamics and a macroscopic model…

We extend previous work to consider the effect of the soliton on the density of states and conductivity of quasi-one-dimensional Peierls systems with quantum lattice fluctuations, modeled by a random static disorder. Two features have been…

For the nonlinear Klein-Gordon type models, we describe a general method of discretization in which the static kink can be placed anywhere with respect to the lattice. These discrete models are therefore free of the {\it static}…

Transport processes in crowded periodic structures are often mediated by cooperative movements of particles forming clusters. Recent theoretical and experimental studies of driven Brownian motion of hard spheres showed that cluster-mediated…
