Title Nonlinearity with Disorder : Proceedings of the Tashkent Conference, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, October 1???7, 1990 Author(s) Abdullaev, Fatkulla;Bishop, Alan R;Pnevmatikos, Stephanos Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1992. Description XI, 311 p : online resource Abstract Note In the past three decades there has been enormous progress in identifying the essential role that nonlinearity plays in physical systems, including supporting soliton-like solutions and self-trapped sxcitations such as polarons. during the same period, similarly impressive progress has occurred in understanding the effects of disorder in linear quantum problems, especially regarding Anderson localization arising from impurities, random spatial structures, stochastic applied fields, and so forth. These striking consequences of disorder, noise and nonlinearity frequently occur together in physical systems. Yet there have been only limited attempts to develop systematic techniques which can include all of these ingredients, which may reinforce, complement or frustrate each other. This book contains a range of articles which provide important steps toward the goal of systematic understanding and classification of phenomenology. Experts from Australia, Europe, Japan, USA, and the USSR describe both mathematical and numerical techniques - especially from soliton and statistical physics disciplines - and applicaations to a number of important physical systems and devices, including optical and electronic transmission lines, liquid crystals, biophysics and magnetism ISBN,Price 9783642847745 Keyword(s) 1.
