In this article we prove the existence of a new family of periodic solutions for discrete, nonlinear Schrodinger equations subject to spatially localized driving and damping. They provide an alternate description of the metastable behavior…
It is shown that pairs of solitary pulses (SPs) in a linearly-coupled system with opposite group-velocity dispersions form robust breathing bound states. The system can be realized by temporal-modulation coupling of SPs with different…
