Discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations with superlinear nonlinearities (Q426598)

The authors study the discrete nonlinear equation, \(Lu_{n}-\omega u_{n}=\sigma \chi _{n}g_{n}\left( u_{n}\right) ,\) \(n\in \mathbb {Z}\), where \(\omega \) belongs to a finite spectral gap of the operator \(L\) or it is a lower edge of a finite spectral gap. Using a variant of the generalized weak linking theorem for strongly indefinite problem developed by \textit{M. Schechter} and \textit{W. Zou} [ ESAIM, Control Optim. Calc. Var. 9, 601--619 (2003; Zbl 1173.35482)], the authors will study the existence of nontrivial solitons for this equation with \(g_{n}\) is super linear.
