Homoclinic standing waves in focussing DNLS equations --Variational approach via constrained optimization

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study focussing discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations and present a new variational existence proof for homoclinic standing waves (bright solitons). Our approach relies on the constrained maximization of an energy functional and provides the existence of two one-parameter families of waves with unimodal and even profile function for a wide class of nonlinearities. Finally, we illustrate our results by numerical simulations.
