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 …

Discrete breathers in crystals

SV Dmitriev, EA Korznikova, YA Baimova… - Physics …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
It is well known that periodic discrete defect-containing systems support both traveling
waves and vibrational defect-localized modes. It turns out that if a periodic discrete system is …

Stability of topological edge states under strong nonlinear effects

R Chaunsali, H Xu, J Yang, PG Kevrekidis… - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
We examine the role of strong nonlinearity on the topologically robust edge state in a one-
dimensional system. We consider a chain inspired from the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model but …

Nonlinear coherent structures in granular crystals

C Chong, MA Porter, PG Kevrekidis… - Journal of Physics …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The study of granular crystals, which are nonlinear metamaterials that consist of closely
packed arrays of particles that interact elastically, is a vibrant area of research that combines …

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 …

Solitary waves in FPU-type lattices

A Vainchtein - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2022 - Elsevier
Lattice solitary traveling waves are nonlinear coherent structures that describe fundamental
mechanisms of energy transport and signal transmission in many physical settings. This …

Formation of rarefaction waves in origami-based metamaterials

H Yasuda, C Chong, EG Charalampidis, PG Kevrekidis… - Physical review E, 2016 - APS
We investigate the nonlinear wave dynamics of origami-based metamaterials composed of
Tachi-Miura polyhedron (TMP) unit cells. These cells exhibit strain softening behavior under …

Quasibreathers as a generalization of the concept of discrete breathers

GM Chechin, GS Dzhelauhova, EA Mehonoshina - Physical Review E …, 2006 - APS
The majority of dynamical objects, which demonstrate energy localization in nonlinear
lattices, represent quasibreathers rather than strictly time-periodic discrete breathers since …

Homoclinic solutions in periodic difference equations with saturable nonlinearity

Z Zhou, JS Yu, YM Chen - Science China Mathematics, 2011 - Springer
In this paper, a periodic difference equation with saturable nonlinearity is considered. Using
the linking theorem in combination with periodic approximations, we establish sufficient …
