Wave propagation is suppressed by breaking translational symmetry, and we consider three ways to do this: position disorder, mass disorder, and a dimer lattice with alternating distances between the units. In all cases the spreading of an initially localized wavepacket is irregular, due to the appearance of chaos, and subdiffusive. For a range of energies and of weak and moderate levels of disorder, we focus on the macroscopic statistical characterization of spreading. Guided by a nonlinear diffusion equation, we establish that the mean waiting times of spreading obey a scaling law in dependence of energy. Moreover, we show that the spreading exponents very weakly depend on the level of disorder.}, language = {en} } @article{LetellierAbrahamShepelyanskyetal.2021, author = {Letellier, Christophe and Abraham, Ralph and Shepelyansky, Dima L. and Rossler, Otto E. and Holmes, Philip and Lozi, Rene and Glass, Leon and Pikovsky, Arkady and Olsen, Lars F. and Tsuda, Ichiro and Grebogi, Celso and Parlitz, Ulrich and Gilmore, Robert and Pecora, Louis M. and Carroll, Thomas L.}, title = {Some elements for a history of the dynamical systems theory}, series = {Chaos : an interdisciplinary journal of nonlinear science}, volume = {31}, journal = {Chaos : an interdisciplinary journal of nonlinear science}, number = {5}, publisher = {AIP Publishing}, address = {Melville}, issn = {1054-1500}, doi = {10.1063/5.0047851}, pages = {20}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Writing a history of a scientific theory is always difficult because it requires to focus on some key contributors and to "reconstruct" some supposed influences.

To provide a direct testimony of how contributors can be influenced by other scientists or works, we here collected some writings about the early times of a few contributors to chaos theory.
