T o pro vide with a full understanding of these pro esses the theory of olletiv e vibrational mo des is in demand. The prinipal question to b e answ ered is the eet of the t w o fundamen tal features of an y lattie: nonlinearit y and disorder. In reen t deades w e ha v e witnessed a remark able progress in studying their impats separately . Nonlinear- it y indues in teration b et w een linear normal mo des and energy sharing if it is strong enough (the F ermi-P asta- Ulam (FPU) problem) [1, 2℄, or exp onen tial lo alization of exat p erio di solutions (disrete breathers) in spae [3℄. Indep enden tly , disorder leads to exp onen tially lo al- ized linear vibrational mo des (Anderson mo des) [ 4 ℄. Ho w ev er, the onurren t eet of nonlinearit y and disorder has not reeiv ed a satisfatory full desription y et.

In on trast, little is kno wn in ase of pr onoun e d nonline arity and we ak disor der . Im- p ortan tly , this situation is realized in miro and nano- me hanial osillatory arra ys that are often driv en in to nonlinear regime, while the spatial disorder is onstan tly redued b y impro ving fabriation te hniques [9, 10 ℄. On the atomi sale, the surfae vibrational mo des are though t to b e a soure of seletiv e atalyti prop erties of three-dimensional gold nano-lusters for a v ariet y of  hemial reations [11 ℄. Ligh t propagation and BEC dy- namis in random optial media are equally strong mo- tiv ating problems. q -Breathers (QBs) presen t a reen tly diso v ered funda- men tal lass of nonlinear osillatory mo des. They are ex- at time-p erio di solutions to nonlinear lattie equations, on tin ued from linear normal mo des and exp onen tially lo alized in the linear mo de spae. In tro dued to explain the FPU parado x (energy lo  king in the lo w-frequeny part of the sp etrum, reurrenies, and size-dep enden t sto  hastiit y thresholds) [12 ℄, they ha v e b een found in t w o and three dimensional FPU arra ys and disrete non- linear S hrö dinger (DNLS) latties [ 13 ℄; last y ear quan- tum QBs w ere observ ed in the Bose-Hubbard  hain [ 14 ℄. QBs ha v e b een suggested as k ey ators in a BEC pulsat- ing instabilit y [15 ℄ and a four-w a v e mixing pro ess in a nonlinear rystal [16 ℄. In this pap er w e extend the onept of q -breathers to random arra ys, implemen ting the paradigmati DNLS mo del as an example. The ornerstones of our approa h are on tin uation of QBs in to non-zero 'frozen' disor- der, taking a nonlinear lo alized solution as a seed, and analysing statistis then. W e sho w that QBs displa y the rosso v er from the exp onen tial lo alization near the en- tral mo de to the p o w er-la w dea y at a distane. Their a v- erage linear stabilit y threshold in nonlinearit y k eeps the same v alue in the rst order appro ximation. The v ari- ane inreases linearly with disorder, manifesting high sensitivit y on partiular realizations. Finally , w e demon- strate, that the sup erimp osed p erio di mo dulation of the linear oupling strength an b e a means of the energy o w on trol. The DNLS lattie is represen ted b y the Hamiltonian H = X n ((1 + D κ n ) ψ n − 1 ψ ∗ n + (1 + D κ n +1 ) ψ n +1 ψ ∗ n + + µ 2 | ψ n | 4 ) , (1) 2 and the equations of motion are i ˙ ψ n = ∂ H /∂ ψ ∗ n : i ˙ ψ n = (1+ D κ n ) ψ n − 1 +(1 + D κ n +1 ) ψ n +1 + µ | ψ n | 2 ψ n (2) Here ψ is a omplex salar that ma y desrib e the slo w small-amplitude dynamis of a lassial nonlinear osil- lators arra y [17 , 18 ℄, probabilit y amplitude of an atomi loud on an optial lattie site [19 ℄, or the amplitudes of a propagating eletromagneti w a v e in an optial w a v eg- uide [20 ℄. Zero b oundary onditions apply: ψ 0 = ψ N +1 = 0 . µ and D are the nonlinearit y and disorder parameters, random κ n ∈ [ − 1 / 2 , 1 / 2] are uniformly distributed and unorrelated: h κ n κ m i = σ 2 κ δ n,m , σ 2 κ = 1 / 12 . Beside the total energy , the norm B = P n | ψ n | 2 is onserv ed. Chang- ing µ is stritly equiv alen t to  hanging the norm B , th us w e x B = 1 further on. The anonial transformation to the reipro al spae of normal mo des with new v ariables Q q ( t ) is giv en b y ψ n ( t ) = r 2 N + 1 N X q Q q ( t ) sin π q n N + 1 , (3) and the dynamis in this spae reads: i ˙ Q q + Ω q Q q = ρ 2 X p,r,s G q,p,r,s Q p Q r Q ∗ s + d X p V q,p Q p , (4) where ρ = µ N +1 , d = D √ N +1 , Ω q = − 2 cos π q N +1 are the normal mo de frequenies for the linear disorder- free system with µ = D = 0 . The nonlin- ear in termo de oupling o eien ts are G q,p,r,s = P ± ( − 1) ( ± p )( ± r )( ± s )  δ q ± p ± r ± s, 0 + δ q ± p ± r ± s, ± 2( N +1)  and the disorder indued ones read V q,p = 2 √ N +1 × N − 1 P n =1 κ n (sin π qn N +1 sin π p ( n +1) N +1 + sin π q ( n +1) N +1 sin π pn N +1 ) . In the disorder-free ase QBs are time-p erio di sta- tionary solutions ψ n ( t ) = φ n exp( i Ω t ) with the frequeny Ω and time-indep enden t amplitudes φ n lo alized in nor- mal mo de spae. In the q -spae they ha v e the form Q q ( t ) = A q exp( i Ω t ) , the amplitudes of the mo des A q b eing time-indep enden t and related to the real-spae am- plitudes b y the anonial transformation (3); the mo de energies are dened as B q = | A q | 2 . Here w e fo us on time-rev ersible p erio di orbits and, th us, onsider A q to b e real n um b ers. The amplitudes satisfy a losed system of algebrai equations:          (Ω q − Ω) A q = ρ 2 X p,r,s G q,p,r,s A p A r A ∗ s + d X p V q,p A p , X q | A q | 2 − B = 0 (5) Our metho dology onsists of t w o steps.

Filled irles are analytial estimates (11) as the disorder parameter. T ogether with the nonlin- earit y parameter ρ , it is assumed to b e small ρ, d ≪ 1 . Then, an asymptoti expansion in p o w ers of { ρ, d } is de- v elop ed. Subsequen t linear stabilit y analysis emplo ys the onstruted solution. Seondly , statistial prop erties of the QB solution and the instabilit y threshold are ana- lyzed. Con tin uation of QBs from µ 6 = 0 , D = 0 to µ, D 6 = 0 exploits the same ideas as from µ = D = 0 to µ 6 = 0 , D = 0 [ 13℄. F or small amplitude exitations the non- linear and disorder terms in (4) an b e negleted and the q -osillators get deoupled, their harmoni energy B q = | Q q | 2 b eing onserv ed in time. Single q -osillator exitations ( B q 6 = 0 for q ≡ q 0 only) are trivial stationary and q -lo alized solutions for β = D = 0 . In the disorder-free ase su h p erio di orbits an b e on tin ued in to the nonlinear ase at xed total energy [13 ℄ b y solving the system of algebrai equations (5), gran ted b y the impliit funtion theorem [21 ℄, as the non- resonane ondition Ω q 0 6 = Ω q 6 = q 0 holds. This is v alid for d ≪ 1 as w ell, for the sp etrum remains non-resonan t with the probabilit y 1 [5℄. Numerially , w e w ere able to on tin ue QBs in to the β , D 6 = 0 domain for all parameters tak en. T ypial results for the lo w-frequeny and middle- frequeny QBs are sho wn in Fig.1 . They demonstrate the rosso v er b et w een the exp onen tial lo alization and the disorder indued ba kground. The disorder-free ex- p onen tial lo alization p ersists in some neigh b orho o d of the en tral mo de for suien tly small disorder, but is range shrinks as disorder gro ws. High-frequeny QBs b e- ha v e analogously . Let us onstrut an asymptoti expansion for the QB solution. W e assume ρ, d ≪ 1 and start from 3 the disorder-free QB prole A N L q for the mo des q 0 , 3 q 0 ,. . . , (2 n + 1 ) q 0 ,. . . ≪ N in the leading order of ρ [ 13 ℄: A N L (2 n +1) q 0 = ( − 1) n γ n A q 0 , γ = µ ( N + 1) 16 π 2 q 2 B q 0 , Ω N L = Ω q 0 − ρ 2 A 2 q 0 (6) W e seek an asymptoti expansion in p o w ers of d ≪ 1 : ˆ A q = A (0) q + dA (1) q + O ( d 2 , ρd ) , ˆ Ω = Ω (0) + d Ω (1) + O ( d 2 , ρd ) , where A (0) q = A N L q , Ω (0) q = Ω N L q . Substitu- tion in to (5) giv es A (1) q = V q,q 0 Ω q − Ω q 0 A q 0 , q 6 = q 0 , Ω (1) = − V q 0 ,q 0 (7) The ensem ble a v erage of the "disorder on tribution" to the energy B DO q =    dA (1) q    2 is  B DO q  = 2 d 2 σ 2 κ (1 + Ω q Ω q 0 / 4) (Ω q − Ω q 0 ) 2 B q 0 , (8) that appro ximates w ell the disorder-dominated part of the n umerially obtained QB proles in dieren t parts of the linear sp etrum (Fig.1). The p o w er-la w dea y  B DO q  ∝ ( q − q 0 ) − 2 ts in the large part of the q - spae.

Letting q = q 0 + 1 w e obtain the "small" σ κ D ≪ π / (2( N + 1) 3 / 2 ) and the "large" σ κ D ≫ π/ p ( N + 1) disorder riteria for delo alization of the least robust mo des q 0 = 1 , N and the most ro- bust one q 0 = N / 2 . Th us, single-ite en tered mo des do not exist ab o v e the size-dep enden t threshold in disorder magnitude. (Note, that delo alization in the mo de spae appro ximately orresp onds the onset of the Anderson lo- alization in the diret spae.) The linear stabilit y of QBs is determined b y on- sidering the ev olution of small omplex-v alued p ertur- bations ζ q ( t ) to the stationary solution [13 ℄: Q q ( t ) = ( ˆ A q + ζ q ( t )) exp ( i Ω t ) . In linearized equations the stabil- it y requires all the eigen v alues b e negativ e. Numerially w e solv e the orresp onden t problem in the diret spae (2). In the follo wing w e restrit our atten tion to the lo w and middle-frequeny QBs, lea ving the more om- plex ase of q 0 > N / 2 (when for D = 0 the instabilit y threshold b eha v es erratially vs. q 0 [13 ℄) for the future study .

The a v erage h µ ∗ i remains v ery lose to the zero-disorder v alue µ ∗ 0 . In on trast, the v ariane σ µ ∗ is signian tly gro wing, dep ending on D almost linearly (Fig.2, deviations b eing observ ed when the probabilit y of µ ∗ b eing next to zero b eomes substan tial). 0.02 0.04 0.06 0.08 0.1 0.12 0.14 1 2 3 4 5 x 10 −4 µ θ (a) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 x 10 −3 0 0.02 0.04 D σ µ * (b) D=0 D=0.004 D=0.008 D=0.012 q 0 =5, N=32 q 0 =7, N=64 q 0 =9, N=128 FIG. 2: (a) The maximal eigen v alues θ of QBs with q 0 = 15 , N = 128 and t w o dieren t sets of { κ n } vs. the nonlinearit y o eien t for sev eral v alues of disorder strength D .

Solid lines are analytial estimates (11) The analyti study of the QB stabilit y has not b een done b efore (ev en for D = 0 ) and w e presen t it here for the rst time (restriting to q 0 < N / 2 as ab o v e). Linearized equations for small p erturbations read: i ˙ ζ q = ( ˆ Ω − Ω q ) ζ q + ρ 2 B q 0 X G q,q 0 ,q 0 ,p ( ζ ∗ p + 2 ζ p ) + d X V q,p ζ p (9) In analogy to the FPU  hain [12 ℄ w e suggest (and v erify that b y omparison with the n umerial results) that the eigen v etors for the main instabilit y b e almost parallel to the subspae { ζ q = 0 : q 6 = q 0 ± 1 } . Th us w e arriv e at a simpler task of nding eigen v alues of the system of t w o omplex-v alued linear equations (retaining O ( ρ, d ) terms only): i ˙ ζ q 0 − 1 = ( ˆ Ω − Ω q 0 − 1 + dV q 0 − 1 ,q 0 − 1 ) ζ q 0 − 1 + + 1 2 ρB q 0 ( ζ ∗ q 0 +1 + 2 ζ q 0 +1 ) + dV q 0 − 1 ,q 0 +1 ζ q 0 +1 , i ˙ ζ q 0 +1 = ( ˆ Ω − Ω q 0 +1 + dV q 0 +1 ,q 0 +1 ) ζ q 0 +1 + + 1 2 ρB q 0 ( ζ ∗ q 0 − 1 + 2 ζ q 0 − 1 ) + dV q 0 − 1 ,q 0 +1 ζ q 0 − 1 (10) After an extensiv e algebra one nally gets the bifuration p oin t: µ ∗ ≈ µ ∗ 0  1 − d π 2 | Ω q 0 | ∆ V q 0 ,q 0  , h µ ∗ i ≈ µ ∗ 0 , σ µ ∗ ≈ D σ κ p 3( N + 1 ) B q 0 , (11) 4 where ∆ V q 0 ,q 0 = V q 0 − 1 ,q 0 − 1 − 2 V q 0 ,q 0 + V q 0 +1 ,q 0 +1 , and the disorder-free µ ∗ 0 = π 2 | Ω q 0 | 2 B q 0 ( N +1) . It sho ws a go o d oin- idene with the n umerial results (Fig.2). Note, that in- reasing the  hain length dereases the instabilit y thresh- old and inreases its v ariation. Th us, in suien tly large arra ys the solution will lo ose stabilit y at v ery small non- linearities with the probabilit y , almost equal to that of ∆ V q 0 ,q 0 b eing negativ e, whi h is 0 . 5 in our ase. If the instabilit y dep ends that sensitiv ely on the disorder realization, there m ust b e ertain lasses of inhomogeneities that augmen t it or suppress. Iden- tifying them oers the p ossibilit y of on trolling the energy o w in the mo de spae b y designing sp ei impurities and, further,  hanging them in time. The disorder indued orretion in (11 ) redues to ∆ V q 0 ,q 0 = 8 √ N +1 N − 1 P n =1 κ n  cos π q 0 (2 n +1) N +1 sin 2 π (2 n +1) 2( N +1) + O ( N − 2 )  . Note, that it is linear in κ n , and, therefore, one an represen t κ n as a sum of spatial F ourier omp onen ts, their on tributions b eing additiv e to ∆ V q 0 ,q 0 . Let us onsider a harmoni inhomogeneit y κ n = 1 2 cos ( π p ( n +1 / 2) N +1 + ϕ ) , where ϕ is the phase shift. It is natural to exp et the absolute extrema of ∆ V q 0 ,q 0 ( p, ϕ ) (and the maximal gain or loss in stabilit y) to b e rea hed for p = 2 q 0 . This ase yields ∆ V q 0 ,q 0 ≈ √ N + 1 cos ϕ . Th us, the bifuration p oin t rea hes its maxim um and minim um for ϕ = π and ϕ = 0 resp etiv ely , giving µ ∗ ≈ µ ∗ 0  1 ± D ( N +1) 2 π 2 | Ω q 0 |  . A t the same time one gets a zero shift for ϕ = ± π 2 . Analogously , for p = q 0 ± 1 one gets µ ∗ ≈ µ ∗ 0  1 ± 8 D ( N +1) 2 3 π 3 | Ω q 0 | sin ϕ  , whi h is − π 2 shifted in ϕ and has a bit smaller amplitude. F or p = q 0 ± 2 it reads µ ∗ ≈ µ ∗ 0  1 + D ( N +1) 2 2 π 2 | Ω q 0 | cos ϕ  , whi h is π shifted in ϕ and has t wie a smaller amplitude. Larger deviations from 2 q 0 lead to progressiv ely dereasing shifts. These results are illustrated in Fig.3 , and sho w a go o d orresp ondene to the n umerially determined QB stabilit y . Summing up, the spatial F oirier omp onen ts p ∈ [2 q 0 − 2 , 2 q 0 + 2 ] of { κ n } are deisiv e for the q 0 -QB stabilit y . The dep endene is notably dieren t and m u h more ompliated than the p ossible "naïv e" exp etation that harmoni inhomogeneities with p = q 0 will most ef- fetiv ely stabilize or destabilize q 0 -QBs. A remark able fat is the sensitiv e dep endene on the phase of the im- purit y harmonis: ev en for a xed p opp osite shifts in the threshold o ur. Presumably , this is the onsequene of the deformation of the linear sp etrum due to inho- mogeneities, as ∆ V q 0 ,q 0 is, atually , the dierene in the frequeny shifts of linear mo des ( 7 ). In its turn, this is determined b y the b oundary onditions, whi h also aet the nonlinearit y indued in teration. It learly highligh ts one of the future diretions of study .

In summary , w e ha v e generalized the onept of QBs to the ase of non-zero disorder and analyzed these non- linear vibrational mo des in w eakly disordered DNLS ar- ra ys. W e demonstrated, that QBs remain exp onen tially lo alized in the mo de spae and stable, if the disorder is suien tly small. Their stabilit y dep ends sensitiv ely on a partiular realization of disorder, and ma y b e en- haned or undermined.
