Nonlinear waves in random lattices: localization and spreading

Heterogeneity in lattice potentials (like random or quasiperiodic) can localize linear, non-interacting waves and halt their propagation. Nonlinearity induces wave interactions, enabling energy exchange and leading to chaotic dynamics. Understanding the interplay between the two is one of the topica...
