Quasi-periodic breathers in Hamiltonian networks of long-range coupling

Abstract

This work is concerned with Hamiltonian networks of weakly and long-range coupled oscillators with either variable or constant on-sitefrequencies. We derive an infinite dimensional KAM-like theorem by which we establish that, given any N-sites of the lattice, there is a positivemeasure set of small amplitude, quasi-periodic breathers (solutions of the Hamiltonian network that are quasi-periodic in time and exponentiallylocalized in space) having N-frequencies which are only slightly deformed from the on-site frequencies.
