T1 Nonlinear wave propagation in disordered media
A1 Sánchez, Angel
AB We briefly review the state-of-the-art of research on nonlinear wave propagation indisordered media. The paper is intended to provide the non-specialist reader with a flavorof this active field of physics. Firstly, a general introduction to the subject is made. Wedescribe the basic models and the ways to study disorder in connection with them.Secondly, analytical and numerical techniques suitable for this purpose are outlined. Wesummarize their features and comment on their respective advantages, drawbacks andapplicability conditions. Thirdly, the Nonlinear Klein-Gordon and Schrbdinger equationsare chosen as specific examples. We collect a number of results that are representative ofthe phenomena arising from the competition between nonlinearity and disorder. Thereview is concluded with some remarks on open questions, main current trends andpossible further developments.
