Modulational and numerical solutions for the steady discrete Sine–Gordon equation in two space dimensions

TL;DR: In this article, a modulation theory based on a suitably averaged Lagrangian for steady solutions of the Sine-Gordon equation in a two-dimensional lattice is developed, which gives approximate solutions away from small perturbations of the exact anti-continuum solutions for both radial and polygonal solutions.

Discrete Solitary Waves in Systems with Nonlocal Interactions and the Peierls-Nabarro Barrier

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of discrete focusing nonlinear Schr{o}dinger equations (DNLS) with general nonlocal interactions was studied and the existence of onsite and offsite discrete solitary waves, which bifurcate from the trivial solution at the endpoint frequency of the continuous spectrum of linear dispersive waves, was shown.

Applications of Centre Manifold Theory

Jack Carr
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an approach for solving the panel flutter problem using a Second Order Equation (SOPE) and a Semigroup Theory. But their approach is limited to the case when the case is 1 < 0 and the case where 0 < 0.

Discrete Spatial Optical Solitons in Waveguide Arrays

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the observation of discrete spatial optical solitons in an array of 41 waveguides, where light was coupled to the central waveguide and when sufficient power was injected, the field was localized close to the input waveguiders and its distribution was successfully described by the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation.
