## Abstract

The dynamics of models described by a one-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schr\\"odinger equation is studied. The nonlinearity in these models appears due to the coupling of the electronic motion to optical oscillators which are treated in adiabatic approximation. First, various sizes of nonlinear cluster embedded in an infinite linear chain are considered. The initial excitation is applied either at the end-site or at the middle-site of the cluster. In both the cases we obtain two kinds of transition: (i) a cluster-trapping transition and (ii) a self-trapping transition. The dynamics of the quasiparticle with the end-site initial excitation are found to exhibit, (i) a sharp self-trapping transition, (ii) an amplitude-transition in the site-probabilities and (iii) propagating soliton-like waves in large clusters. Ballistic propagation is observed in random nonlinear systems. The effect of nonlinear impurities on the superdiffusive behavior of random-dimer model is also studied.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
