25. In the full disordered BH model, with increasing disorder strength, there are either successive phase transitions in which superfluid phase is present, or only one phase transition from Mott insulator to Bose glass [17]. Whereas phase coherence is enhanced by disorder in both cases, a long-range order is established in the first case but not in the second one.
