THE EFFECTS OF QUENCHED DISORDER ON THE CHAOTIC DIFFUSION FOR SIMPLE MAPS
That both normal and anomalous chaotic diffusions are suppressed by the presence of quenched disorder for a large class of maps was established by G. Radons.1 In this paper, we consider simple maps (which exhibit normal diffusion) modified by discrete disorder. By decomposing the mean square displacement (MSD) σ2(t) of the system into three terms, namely, [Formula: see text], we find that the MSD of the random walk which corresponds to disorder, [Formula: see text], enhances that of the original unmodified map, [Formula: see text] and that the term 2σ01(t), which describes the correlation between the diffusion fronts of the previous two diffusive processes, just essentially cancels the sum of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In consequence, the trajectories of the system are effectively localized. In this formalism, exact numerical calculations without any round-off error can be achieved, the numerical errors coming only from the limited sampling of the initial conditions.
