Breathing solitons consist of a fast beating wave within a compact envelope of stable shape and velocity. They can propagate and carry information and energy in a variety of contexts such as plasmas, optical fibers and cold atoms, but…

We show that the parity-time (PT) symmetric coupled optical waveguides with gain and loss support localised oscillatory structures similar to the breathers of the classical $\phi^4$ model. The power carried by the PT-breather oscillates…

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…
