Abstract: Discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation (DNLS) describes a chain of oscillators with nearest neighbor interactions and a specific nonlinear term. We consider its modification with long-range interaction through a potential proportional to $1/l^{1+alpha}$ with fractional $alpha<2$ and $l$ as a distance between oscillators. This model is called $alpha$DNLS. It exhibits competition between the nonlinearity and a level of correlation between interacting far-distanced oscillators, that is defined by the value of $alpha$. We consider transition to chaos in this system as a function of $alpha$ and nonlinearity. It is shown that decreasing of $alpha$ with respect to nonlinearity stabilize the system. Connection of the model to the fractional genezalization of the NLS (called FNLS) in the long-wave approximation is also discussed and some of the results obtained for $alpha$DNLS can be correspondingly extended to the FNLS.
