Existence and stability of breathers in lattices of weakly coupled two-dimensional near-integrable Hamiltonian oscillators

چکیده
A method of proving the existence of breathers in lattices of two-dimensional weakly coupled Hamiltonian oscillators is presented. This method has the advantage that provides a first approximation of the initial conditions of the breather solution together with its linear stability. Since the proof relies on the use of action-angle variables, we also present a method to perform the calculations without knowledge of the specific transformation. We illustrate the results in a lattice of quartic oscillators and in another one that consists of coupled 2D Morse oscillators. Finally we examine the possibility of extending these results in lattices of more than two degrees of freedom per lattice site.

Multibreather and Vortex Breather stability in Klein-Gordon Lattices: Equivalence between Two Different Approaches
In this work, we revisit the question of stability of multibreather configurations, i.e. discrete breathers with multiple excited sites at the anti-continuum limit of uncoupled oscillators. We present two methods that yield quantitative predictions about the Floquet multipliers of the linear stability analysis around such exponentially localized in space, time-periodic orbits, based on the Aubr...
متن کاملWeak Coupling Limit and Localized Oscillations in Euclidean Invariant Hamiltonian Systems
We prove the existence of time-periodic and spatially localized oscillations (discrete breathers) in a class of planar Euclidean-invariant Hamiltonian systems consisting of a finite number of interacting particles. This result is obtained in an “anticontinuous” limit, where atomic masses split into two groups that have different orders of magnitude (the mass ratio tending to infinity) and sever...
متن کاملBreathers in Hamiltonian PT -Symmetric Chains of Coupled Pendula under a Resonant Periodic Force
We derive a Hamiltonian version of the PT-symmetric discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation that describes synchronized dynamics of coupled pendula driven by a periodic movement of their common strings. In the limit of weak coupling between the pendula, we classify the existence and spectral stability of breathers (time-periodic solutions localized in the lattice) supported near one pair of cou...
متن کاملSurface magnetoinductive breathers in two-dimensional magnetic metamaterials.
We study discrete surface breathers in two-dimensional lattices of inductively coupled split-ring resonators with capacitive nonlinearity. We consider both conservative (Hamiltonian) and analyze the properties of the modes localized in space and periodic in time (discrete breathers) located in the corners and on the edges of the lattice. We find that surface breathers in the Hamiltonian systems...
متن کاملIntrinsically localized chaos in discrete nonlinear extended systems
– The phenomenon of intrinsic localization in discrete nonlinear extended systems, i.e. the (generic) existence of discrete breathers, is shown to be not restricted to periodic solutions but it also extends to more complex (chaotic) dynamical behaviour. We illustrate this with two different forced and damped systems exhibiting this type of solutions: In an anisotropic Josephson junction ladder,...
