Spatial Disorder Of Coupled Discrete Nonlinear Schrodinger Equations

摘要

In this paper, we study the spatial disorder of coupled discrete nonlinear Schrodinger (CDNLS) equations with piecewise-monotone nonlinearities. By the construction of horseshoes, we show that the CDNLS equation possesses a hyperbolic invariant Cantor set on which it is topological conjugate to the full shift on N symbols. The CDNLS equation exhibits spatial disorder, resulting from the strong amplitudes and stiffness of the nonlinearities in the system. The complexity of the disorder is determined by the oscillations of the nonlinearities.
