Breathers have been experimentally and theoretically found in many physical systems -- in particular, in integrable nonlinear-wave models. A relevant problem is to study the \textit{breather gas}, which is the limit, for $N\rightarrow…
Breathers may be mobile close to an instability threshold where the frequency of a pinning mode vanishes. The translation mode is a marginal mode that is a solution of the linearized (Hill) equation of the breather which grows linearly in…
