title: The simplest case of chaotic wave scattering.
abstract: We consider scattering of nondispersive linear waves on a discrete nonlinear element. The problem reduces to the dynamics of a forced damped nonlinear oscillator. Chaotic motions of the oscillator produce chaotic reflected and transmitted waves.
