On global existence of localized solutions of some nonlinear lattices

arXiv:cond-mat/0002244

Abstract

We prove global existence and uniqueness of solutions of some important nonlinear lattices which include the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattice. Our result shows (on a particular example) that the FPU lattice with high nonlinearity and its continuum limit display drastically different behaviour with respect to blow up phenomenon.
