Fronts in dissipative Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou chains

Michael Herrmann, Guillaume James, Karsten Matthies

In a dissipative Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou chain particles interact with their nearest neighbors through anharmonic potentials and linear dissipative forces. We prove the existence…

Existence, stability and spatio-temporal dynamics of time-quasiperiodic solutions on a finite background in discrete nonlinear Schrödinger models

E. G. Charalampidis, G. James, J. Cuevas-Maraver +3

In the present work we explore the potential of models of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) type to support spatially localized and temporally quasiperiodic solutions on to…

Floquet Analysis of Kuznetsov--Ma breathers: A Path Towards Spectral Stability of Rogue Waves

J. Cuevas-Maraver, P. G. Kevrekidis, D. J. Frantzeskakis +3

In the present work, we aim at taking a step towards the spectral stability analysis of Peregrine solitons, i.e., wave structures that are used to emulate extreme wave events. Give…

Breathers in a locally resonant granular chain with precompression

Lifeng Liu, Guillaume James, Panayotis Kevrekidis +1

We study a locally resonant granular material in the form of a precompressed Hertzian chain with linear internal resonators. Using an asymptotic reduction, we derive an effective n…

Nonlinear waves in a strongly nonlinear resonant granular chain

Lifeng Liu, Guillaume James, Panayotis Kevrekidis +1

We explore a recently proposed locally resonant granular system bearing harmonic internal resonators in a chain of beads interacting via Hertzian elastic contacts. In this system,…

Breather solutions of the discrete p-Schrödinger equation

Guillaume James, Yuli Starosvetsky

We consider the discrete p-Schrödinger (DpS) equation, which approximates small amplitude oscillations in chains of oscillators with fully-nonlinear nearest-neighbors interactions…
