Stationary localized states due to nonlinear impurities described by the modified discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation

Abstract

The modified discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation is used to study the formation of stationary localized states in a one-dimensional lattice with a single impurity and an asymmetric dimer impurity. A periodically modulated and a perfectly nonlinear chain is also considered. Phase diagrams of localized states for all systems are presented. From the mean square displacement calculation, it is found that all states are not localized even though the system comprises random nonlinear site energies. Stability of the states is discussed.
