Abstract
We address the existence and stability of localized modes in the two-dimensional (2D) linear Schroedinger lattice with two symmetric nonlinear sites embedded into it, and a generalization for moderately localized nonlinearity featuring two distinct symmetric maxima. The latter setting admits a much greater variety of localized modes. Symmetric, antisymmetric, and asymmetric discrete solitons are found, and a subcritical bifurcation, accounting for the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) of the symmetric modes and transition to asymmetric ones, is identified. Existence and stability of more complex 2D solutions in the form of discrete symmetric and asymmetric vortices are also discussed.
