Nonlinear Wave-Packet Dynamics in a Disordered Medium

Nonlinear Wave-Packet Dynamics in a Disordered Medium

We develop an effective theory of pulse propagation in a nonlinear and disordered medium in two dimensions. The theory is formulated in terms of a nonlinear diffusion equation. Despite its apparent simplicity this equation describes novel phenomena which we refer to as ``locked explosion'' and diffusive collapse. The equation can …
