Τμήμα Μαθηματικών (ΔΔ)(2008-11-27T08:58:59Z) Bergamin, Jeroen Martijn; Μπούντης, Αναστάσιος; Μπούντης, Αναστάσιος; Βραχάτης, Μιχαήλ Ν.; Παπαγεωργίου, ΒασίλειοςIn chapter 3 of this thesis, I discuss in some detail the historical development of energy localization, emphasizing the particular physical concepts which are important for the understanding of this phenomenon. Furthermore, I describe the mathematical concepts of a discrete breather and homoclinic orbits, which are intimately connected between them and constitute the main object of study of this dissertation.
