16. 0/D) and k = 0,1. In the opposite limit, the perturbation caused by a traveling AM pulse spreads out over many substrate cells, thus forming an exponentially decaying trail. For Δt→0 a new adiabatic limit is recovered, where the effect of the time-dependent AM perturbation is equivalent to a static rescaling of the potential parameters - see, e.g., P. Jung, Phys. Rep. 65, 234 (1993).
