Conjectures:: There should be absence of diffusion for any initially<br />

localized wave packet in any nonlinear model at any dimension<br />

with purely discrete linear spectrum (Random, quasiperiodic or else)<br />

There is diffusion (at least partial in case of time periodic Discrete Breather<br />

formation) in all models for which the linear spectrum has an absolutely<br />

continous component.<br />

There is diffusion as soon the model is a at non vanishing temperature<br />

or if it submitted to a random noise (with broad spectrum)<br />

Numerical problem with random FPU model: The linear localization<br />

length diverges at low frequency. The long tail already exists in the linear<br />

case (diverging second moment) and cannot be considered as an<br />

effect of nonlinearity<br />
