We derive average propagation model for a nonlinear wave dynamics in media
with periodically varying parameters considering a general case with differ
ent periods of the nonlinearity and dispersion oscillations. Applying quasi
-identical canonical transformation we find the conditions when the average
d Hamiltonian dynamics is close to an integrable model. We apply general th
eory to the practical problem of optical signal transmission in fiber lines
with short-scale dispersion management.
