Travelling Waves in Hamiltonian Systems on 2D Lattices with Nearest Neighbor Interactions

Pattern Formation and Solitons 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study travelling waves on a two--dimensional lattice with linear and nonlinear coupling between nearest particles and a periodic nonlinear substrate potential. Such a discrete system can model molecules adsorbed on a substrate crystal surface. We show the existence of both uniform sliding states and periodic travelling waves as well in a two-dimensional sine-Gordon lattice equation using topological and variational methods.
