Download or read book Localization and Energy Transfer in Nonlinear Systems written by Luis Vázquez and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2003-05-22 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This conference was the third meeting organized in the framework of the European LOCNET project. The main topics discussed by this international research collaboration were localization by nonlinearity and spatial discreteness, and energy transfer (in crystals, biomolecules and Josephson arrays).
