Breathers are nontrivial time-periodic and spatially localized solutions of nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations (PDEs). Families of breathers have been found for certain integrable PDEs but are believed to be rare in…
We prove the existence of time-periodic solutions and spatially localised solutions (breathers), in general nonlinear Klein-Gordon infinite lattices. The existence problem is converted into a fixed point problem for an operator on some…

The existence of breather type solutions, i.e., periodic in time, exponentially localized in space solutions, is a very unusual feature for continuum, nonlinear wave type equations. Following an earlier work [Comm. Math. Phys. {\bf 302},…
We consider an infinite chain of particles linearly coupled to their nearest neighbours and subject to an anharmonic local potential. The chain is assumed weakly inhomogeneous. We look for small amplitude discrete breathers. The problem is…
Discrete bright breathers are well known phenomena. They are localized excitations that consist of a few excited oscillators in a lattice and the rest of them having very small amplitude or none. In this paper we are interested in the…
On a two-dimensional planar parity-time-($\mathcal{PT}$-)symmetric nonlinear magnetic metamaterial, consisting of split-ring dimers with balanced gain and loss, discrete breather solutions can be found. We extend these studies and by…
Quantum breathers are studied numerically in several electron-phonon coupled finite chain systems, in which the coupling results in intrinsic nonlinearity but with varying degrees of nonadiabaticity. As for quantum nonlinear lattice…
We explore breather propagation in the damped oscillatory chain with essentially nonlinear (non-linearizable) nearest-neighbour coupling. Combination of the damping and the substantially nonlinear coupling leads to rather unusual two-stage…
For a class of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations, we prove that in the small energy limit, any sequence of breathers decomposes into a finite sum of decoupled, periodically modulated canonical solitons. Each of these solitons is…
Nonlinear classical Hamiltonian lattices exhibit generic solutions in the form of discrete breathers. These solutions are time-periodic and (typically exponentially) localized in space. The lattices exhibit discrete translational symmetry.…
We explore dynamics of discrete breathers and multi-breathers in finite one-dimensional chain. The model involves parabolic on-site potential with rigid constraints and linear nearest-neighbor coupling. The rigid non-ideal impact…
We construct infinitely many real-valued, time-periodic breather solutions of power-type nonlinear wave equations. These solutions are obtained from critical points of a dual functional and they are weakly localized in space. Our abstract…
We prove the existence of a class of time-localized and space-periodic breathers (called q-gap breathers) in nonlinear lattices with time-periodic coefficients. These q-gap breathers are the counterparts to the classical space-localized and…
We predict that oblique breathers can be generated by a flow of two-component Bose-Einstein condensate past a polarized obstacle which attracts one component of the condensate and repels the other one. The breather exists if intra-species…
