...—when they are stable under small perturbations—are very important for physical systems because they seriously affect the energy transport properties of the lattice. Discrete breathers have recently been created and observed in many experiments, as, e.g., in the Josephson junction arrays, optical...

...Hiroshi Hosaka, Professor; Kiyoshi Itao, Professor The coupled vibrations of microcantilevers induced by airflow were analyzed to facilitate the development of high-speed information and sensing devices that use microactuator arrays. Simple formulas, from which the vibrational coupling amplitude...
