Simple statistical explanation for the localization of energy in nonlinear lattices with two conserved quantities

Simple statistical explanation for the localization of energy in nonlinear lattices with two conserved quantities

The localization of energy in the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation is explained with statistical methods. The partition function and the entropy of the system are computed for low-amplitude initial conditions. Detailed predictions for the long-time solution are derived.
