Abstract
In 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.
