Nonlinearity with Disorder Proceedings of the Tashkent Conference, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, October 1–7, 1990

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 u...
