Nonlinearity and disorder are the recognized ingredients of the lattice vibrational dynamics, the factors that could be diminished, but never excluded. We generalize the concept of $q$-breathers -- periodic orbits in nonlinear lattices,…
We numerically study the existence of travelling breathers in Klein-Gordon chains, which consist of one-dimensional networks of nonlinear oscillators in an anharmonic on-site potential, linearly coupled to their nearest neighbors.…
We consider the classical and quantum dynamics of excitations in a system of two capacitively coupled Josephson junctions. In the classical case the equations of motion admit discrete breather solutions, which are time periodic and…
We report the observation of spontaneous localization of energy in two spatial dimensions in the context of nonlinear electrical lattices. Both stationary and traveling self-localized modes were generated experimentally and theoretically in…
Strong numerical evidence is presented for the existence of a continuous family of time-periodic solutions with ``weak'' spatial localization of the spherically symmetric non-linear Klein-Gordon equation in 3+1 dimensions. These solutions…
The nonlinear stage of modulational instability in optical fibers induced by a wide and easily accessible class of localized perturbations is studied using the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. It is showed that the development of associated…
In weakly nonlinear dispersive systems, solitons are spatially localized solutions which propagate without changing shape through a delicate balance between dispersion and self-focusing nonlinear effects. These states have been extensively…
We consider Maxwell's equations for Kerr-type optical materials, which are magnetically inactive and have a nonlinear response to electric fields. This response consists of a linear plus a cubic term, which are both inhomogeneous with…
We develop the theory of nonlinear localised modes (intrinsic localised modes or discrete breathers) in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal waveguides. We consider different geometries of the waveguides created by an array of nonlinear…
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…
Discrete breathers (nonlinear localised modes) have been shown to exist in various nonlinear Hamiltonian lattice systems. In the present paper we study the dynamics of classical spins interacting via Heisenberg exchange on spatial…
Discrete breathers with purely anharmonic short-range interaction potentials localize super-exponentially becoming compact-like. We analyze their spatial localization properties and their dynamical stability. Several branches of solutions…
We introduce a Wannier-type formulation of periodic local vibrational mode theory that yields real-space-localized vibrational modes associated with individual internal coordinates in crystalline solids. These modes are constructed as…
Discrete breathers are ubiquitous structures in nonlinear anharmonic models ranging from the prototypical example of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model to Klein-Gordon nonlinear lattices, among many others. We propose a general criterion for the…
We consider the evolution of the 2-soliton (breather) of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation on a semi-infinite line with the zero boundary condition and a linear potential, which corresponds to the gravity field in the presence of a hard…
We give definitions for different types of moving spatially localized objects in discrete nonlinear lattices. We derive general analytical relations connecting frequency, velocity and localization length of moving discrete breathers and…
We study a one-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger model with hopping to the first and a selected N-th neighbor, motivated by a helicoidal arrangement of lattice sites. We provide a detailed analysis of the modulational instability…
We study the phonon modes of interacting particles on the surface of a truncated cone resting on a plane subject to gravity, inspired by recent colloidal experiments. We derive the ground state configuration of the particles under…
We investigate the dynamics of bound states of two interacting particles, either bosons or fermions, performing a continuous-time quantum walk on a one-dimensional lattice. We consider the situation where the distance between both particles…
Qualitative information about breather initial profiles in the weak coupling limit of a chain of identical one-dimensional anharmonic oscillators is found by studying the linearized equations of motion at a one-site breather. In particular,…
