Breathers on lattices with long range interaction

arXiv:cond-mat/9809387 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.58.R4116

Abstract

We analyze the properties of breathers (time periodic spatially localized solutions) on chains in the presence of algebraically decaying interactions . We find that the spatial decay of a breather shows a crossover from exponential (short distances) to algebraic (large distances) decay. We calculate the crossover distance as a function of and the energy of the breather. Next we show that the results on energy thresholds obtained for short range interactions remain valid for and that for (anomalous dispersion at the band edge) nonzero thresholds occur for cases where the short range interaction system would yield zero threshold values.
