A discrete variational approach for investigation of stationary localized states in a discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation, named IN-DNLS (Q2570967)

Summary: IN-DNLS considered here is a countable infinite set of coupled one-dimensional nonlinear ordinary differential difference equations with a tunable nonintegrability parameter. When this parameter vanishes, IN-DNLS reduces to the famous integrable Ablowitz-Ladik equation. The formation of unstaggered and staggered stationary localized states in IN-DNLS is studied here using a discrete variational method.
