Abstract

In this paper we consider stationary solutions to the nonlinear one-dimensional Schroedinger equation with a periodic potential and a Stark-type perturbation. In the limit of large periodic potential the Stark-Wannier ladders of the linear equation become a dense energy spectrum because a cascade of bifurcations of stationary solutions occurs when the ratio between the effective nonlinearity strength and the tilt of the external field increases.
