Recent papers that have studied variants of the Peyrard-Bishop model for DNA, have taken into account the long range interaction due to the dipole moments of the hydrogen bonds between base pairs. In these models the helicity of the double…
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…
In strained monoatomic chains with Lennard-Jones interactions, we revealed a stable static non-homogeneous structure appearing as a result of a certain phase transition. Positions of individual particles in this structure form an exact…
The existence of discrete breathers (DBs), or intrinsic localized modes (localized periodic oscillations of transzigzag) is shown. In the localization region periodic contraction-extension of valence C-C bonds occurs which is accompanied by…
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…
We study the effect of long-range interactions in non-convex one-dimensional lattice systems in the simplified yet meaningful assumption that the relevant long-range interactions are between $M$-neighbours for some $M\ge 2$ and are convex.…
We report the results of molecular dynamics simulations of an off-lattice protein model featuring a physical force-field and amino-acid sequence. We show that localized modes of nonlinear origin (discrete breathers) emerge naturally as…
The quantum modes of a nonlinear Klein Gordon lattice have been computed numerically [L. Proville, Phys. Rev. B, vol. 71, 104306 (2005)]. The on-site nonlinearity has been found to lead to a phonon pairing and consequently some phonon bound…
In the present work, we develop a systematic examination of the existence, stability and dynamical properties of a discrete breather at the interface between a diatomic and a monoatomic granular chain. We remarkably find that such an…
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},…
The paper addresses compact oscillatory states (compact breathers) in translationally-invariant lattices with flat dispersion bands. The compact breathers appear in such systems even in the linear approximation. If the interactions are…
We consider the two-dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice with hexagonal honeycomb symmetry, which is a Hamiltonian system describing the evolution of a scalar-valued quantity subject to nearest neighbour interactions. Using multiple-scale…
By applying an out-of-phase actuation at the boundaries of a uniform chain of granular particles, we demonstrate experimentally that time-periodic and spatially localized structures with a nonzero background (so-called dark breathers)…
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…
We report the ejection of atoms at a crystal surface caused by energetic breathers which have travelled more than 10^7 unit cells in atomic chain directions. The breathers were created by bombardment of a crystal face with heavy ions. This…
We study the thermal equilibrium of nonlinear Klein-Gordon chains at the limit of small coupling (anticontinuum limit). We show that the persistence distribution associated to the local energy density is a useful tool to study the…
It is well know that systems with an interaction decaying as a power of the distance may have critical exponents that are different from those of short-range systems. The boundary between long-range and short-range is known, however the…
Discrete breathers, or intrinsic localized modes, are spatially localized, time--periodic, nonlinear excitations that can exist and propagate in systems of coupled dynamical units. Recently, some experiments show the sighting of a form of…
We derive a Hamiltonian version of the ${\cal PT}$-symmetric discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation that describes synchronized dynamics of coupled pendula driven by a periodic movement of their common strings. In the limit of weak…
Deflation is an efficient numerical technique for identifying new branches of steady state solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations. Here, we demonstrate how to extend deflation to discover new periodic orbits in nonlinear…
