One Parameter Scaling Theory for Stationary States of Disordered Nonlinear Systems
arXiv:1003.1959 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.104.164102
Abstract
We show, using detailed numerical analysis and theoretical arguments, that the normalized participation number of the stationary solutions of disordered nonlinear lattices obeys a one-parameter scaling law. Our approach opens a new way to investigate the interplay of Anderson localization and nonlinearity based on the powerful ideas of scaling theory.
