چکیده

Using two methods we show that a quantized discrete breather in a 1D lattice is stable. One method uses path integrals and compares correlations for a (linear) local mode with those of the quantum breather. The other takes a local mode as the zeroth order system relative to which numerical, cutoff-insensitive diagonalization of the Hamiltonian is performed.

Multi-peak breather stability in a dissipative discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation

We study the stability of breather solutions of a dissipative cubic discrete NLS with localized forcing. The breathers are similar to the ones found for the Hamiltonian limit of the system. In the case of linearly stable multi-peak breathers the combination of dissipation and localized forcing also leads to stability, and the apparent damping of internal modes that make the energy around multi-...

Breathers 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...

Dissipative breathers in rf SQUID metamaterials

The existence and stability of dissipative breathers in rf SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) arrays is investigated numerically. In such arrays, the nonlinearity which is intrinsic to each SQUID, along with the weak magnetic coupling of each SQUID to its nearest neighbors, result in the formation of discrete breathers. We analyze several discrete breather excitations in rf SQU...

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...

Dynamics of discrete breathers in the integrable model of the 1D crystal

In the frame of the exactly integrable model of the 1D crystal — Hirota lattice model — the dynamics and interaction of the discrete breathers has been considered. These high-frequency localized nonlinear excitations elastically interact with each other and with such excitations as shock and linear waves. Using the nonlinear superposition formula the pair collision processes of the excitations ...
