excitations of space-charge modes are analyzed and the endurance of trains of solitons against transverse effects is clarified. …

We systematically investigate slowly moving matter-wave gap soliton propagation in weak random optical lattices. With … particle moving in random potentials. Based on the effective-particle theory, the effects of the randomness on gap solitons are … obtained and the trajectories of gap solitons are well predicted. Moreover, the general laws that describe the movement …
