Discrete breathers—advances in theory and applications

S Flach, AV Gorbach - Physics Reports, 2008 - Elsevier
Nonlinear classical Hamiltonian lattices exhibit generic solutions—discrete breathers. They
are time-periodic and (typically exponentially) localized in space. The lattices have discrete …

Soliton shape and mobility control in optical lattices

YV Kartashov, VA Vysloukh, L Torner - Progress in Optics, 2009 - Elsevier
We present a progress overview focused on the recent theoretical and experimental
advances in the area of soliton manipulation in optical lattices. Optical lattices offer the …

Edge solitons in nonlinear-photonic topological insulators

D Leykam, YD Chong - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We show theoretically that a photonic topological insulator can support edge solitons that
are strongly self-localized and propagate unidirectionally along the lattice edge. The …

Optical isolation with nonlinear topological photonics

X Zhou, Y Wang, D Leykam, YD Chong - New Journal of Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
It is shown that the concept of topological phase transitions can be used to design nonlinear
photonic structures exhibiting power thresholds and discontinuities in their transmittance …

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 …

Discrete Breathers in a Forced-Damped Array of Coupled Pendula:<? format?> Modeling, Computation, and Experiment

J Cuevas, LQ English, PG Kevrekidis, M Anderson - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
In this work, we present a mechanical example of an experimental realization of a stability
reversal between on-site and intersite centered localized modes. A corresponding …

Breathers in oscillator chains with Hertzian interactions

G James, PG Kevrekidis, J Cuevas - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2013 - Elsevier
We prove nonexistence of breathers (spatially localized and time-periodic oscillations) for a
class of Fermi–Pasta–Ulam lattices representing an uncompressed chain of beads …

Dynamics of discrete solitons in the fractional discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the quasi-Riesz derivative

M Zhong, BA Malomed, Z Yan - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
We elaborate a fractional discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (FDNLS) equation based on an
appropriately modified definition of the Riesz fractional derivative, which is characterized by …

Enhanced mobility of quantum droplets in periodic lattices

YV Kartashov, DA Zezyulin - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2024 - Elsevier
We predict that one-and two-dimensional self-bound quantum droplets, forming in Bose–
Einstein condensates in the presence of Lee–Huang–Yang (LHY) quantum corrections to …

Spectroscopy and directed transport of topological solitons in crystals of trapped ions

J Brox, P Kiefer, M Bujak, T Schaetz, H Landa - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We study experimentally and theoretically discrete solitons in crystalline structures
consisting of several tens of laser-cooled ions confined in a radio frequency trap. Resonantly …
