Abstract: We study heteroclinic solutions of a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model. Using the methods of Rabinowitz and Stredulinsky, we prove that if the rotation vector of the configuration is rational and if there is an adjacent pair of periodic configurations, then there is a solution that is heteroclinic in one fixed direction and periodic in other directions. Furthermore, if the above heteroclinic solutions have an adjacent pair, then there is a solution that is heteroclinic in two directions and periodic in other directions. The procedure can be repeated to produce more complex solutions. Thus we obtain a variational construction for these minimal and Birkhoff solutions.
