Dimension dependent energy thresholds for discrete breathers
Michael Kastner
Discrete breathers are time-periodic, spatially localized solutions of the equations of motion for a system of classical degrees of freedom interacting on a lattice. We study the e…

Effective Hamiltonian for traveling discrete breathers in the FPU chain
Michael Kastner, Jacques-Alexandre Sepulchre
For the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain, an effective Hamiltonian is constructed, describing the motion of approximate, weakly localized discrete breathers traveling along the chain. The ve…

Breathers in a model of a polymer with secondary structure
Michael Kastner, Tomas J. Lazaro
A simple model of a polymer is considered: a chain of (different) point masses, connected by harmonic springs, embedded in two dimensional space. In order to determine conditions f…
