II- Exact Time Periodic Solutions (Intraband Discrete Breathers)<br />

in Random and Nonlinear Systems<br />

(with linear Anderson lOCALIZATION)<br />

Kopidakis <strong>Aubry</strong> 1999-2000<br />

Random systems: When the linear spectrum is discrete.<br />

(Anderson localization) no linear phonon radiation is possible<br />

Existence Proofs of Intraband DBs (IDBs)<br />

Theorem: Albanèse and Frohlich 1991<br />

Anderson modes persist in nonlinear models as time periodic<br />

solutions with frequencies in a fat Cantor set.<br />

Numerical Calculations (at computer accuracy) of intraband<br />

Discrete Breathers : KA 1999-2000<br />

1- Quasi-continuation in L 2 : Each Anderson mode generates a family<br />

of IDBs with frequency in a FAT CANTOR SET (with nonvanishing measure)<br />

2- Continuation in L ∞ : Each Anderson mode becomes an extended multiDB<br />

with infinite energy<br />
