-symmetric oligomers: Analytical solutions, linear stability, and nonlinear dynamics

K Li, PG Kevrekidis - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2011 - APS
In the present work we focus on the case of (few-site) configurations respecting the parity-
time (PT) symmetry, ie, with a spatially odd gain-loss profile. We examine the case of such …

Discrete breathers in a triangular -Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou lattice

RI Babicheva, AS Semenov, EG Soboleva… - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
A practical approach to the search for (quasi-) discrete breathers (DBs) in a triangular β-
FPUT lattice (after Fermi, Pasta, Ulam, and Tsingou) is proposed. DBs are obtained by …

Non-linear waves in lattices: past, present, future

PG Kevrekidis - IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2011 - academic.oup.com
In the present work, we attempt a brief summary of various areas where non-linear waves
have been emerging in the phenomenology of lattice dynamical systems. These areas …

We present a systematic study of the existence and stability of discrete breathers that are
spatially localized in the bulk of a one-dimensional chain of compressed elastic beads that …

Dark discrete breather modes in a monoaxial chiral helimagnet with easy-plane anisotropy

IG Bostrem, EG Ekomasov, J Kishine, AS Ovchinnikov… - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Nonlinearity and discreteness are two pivotal factors for an emergence of discrete breather
excitations in various media. We argue that these requirements are met in the forced …

Spherically localized discrete breathers in bcc metals V and Nb

KA Krylova, IP Lobzenko, AS Semenov… - Computational Materials …, 2020 - Elsevier
Discrete breathers (DBs), also called intrinsic localized modes (ILMs), are spatially localized,
large-amplitude vibrational modes in nonlinear lattices. Rod-like discrete breathers (DBs) …
