Abstract

The existence of nonzero periodic travelling wave solutions for a general discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (DNLS) on finite one-dimensional lattices is proved. The DNLS features a general nonlinear term and variable range of interactions going beyond the usual nearest-neighbour interaction. The problem of the existence of travelling wave solutions is converted into a fixed point problem for an operator on some appropriate function space which is solved by means of Schauder's Fixed Point Theorem.
