@article{GF2005, abstract = {Discrete breathers with purely anharmonic short-range interaction potentials localize superexponentially becoming compactlike. We analyze their spatial localization properties and their dynamical stability. Several branches of solutions are identified. One of them connects to the well-known Page and Sievers-Takeno lattice modes, another one connects with the compacton solutions of Rosenau. The absence of linear dispersion allows for extremely long-lived time-quasiperiodic localized excitations. Adding long-range anharmonic interactions leads to an extreme case of competition between length scales defining the spatial breather localization. We show that short- and long-range interaction terms competition results in the appearance of several characteristic crossover lengths and essentially breaks the concept of compactness of the corresponding discrete breathers.}, author = {A V Gorbach and S Flach}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevE.72.056607}, issn = {1539-3755}, issue = {5, Part 2}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW E}, month = {11}, title = {Compactlike discrete breathers in systems with nonlinear and nonlocal dispersive terms}, volume = {72}, year = {2005} }
