Modulational instability and discrete breathers in discrete cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation
We investigate the properties of modulational instability and discrete breathers in the cubic–quintic discrete nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation. We analyze the regions of modulational instabilities of nonlinear plane waves. Using the Page approach [J.B. Page, Phys. Rev. B 41 (1990) 7835], we derive...

| Summary: | We investigate the properties of modulational instability and discrete breathers in the cubic–quintic discrete nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation. We analyze the regions of modulational instabilities of nonlinear plane waves. Using the Page approach [J.B. Page, Phys. Rev. B 41 (1990)
7835], we derive the conditions for the existence and stability for bright discrete breather solutions. It is shown that the quintic nonlinearity brings qualitatively new conditions for stability of strongly localized modes. The application to the existence of localized modes in the Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) with three-body interactions in an optical lattice is discussed. The numerical simulations agree with the analytical predictions. |
