Gap solitons in periodic Schrödinger lattice system with nonlinear hopping

Ming Cheng, Alexander Pankov

Abstract:
This article concerns the periodic discrete Schrödinger equation with nonlinear hopping on the infinite integer lattice. We obtain the existence of gap solitons by the linking theorem and concentration compactness method together with a periodic approximation technique. In addition, the behavior of such solutions is studied as $\alpha\to 0$. Notice that the nonlinear hopping can be sign changing.
