Abstract:

Here we present a set of multibreather stability theorems (MST) that provides with a simple method to determine multibreathers stability in Klein--Gordon systems, with linear and nonlinear coupling. These theorems are based in the application of degenerate perturbation theory to Aubry's band theory. We apply it to two-site and three-site breathers, phonobreathers, dark breathers (explainig parity instabilities), models with long-range interaction, multibreathers and breathers in a 3D, helical, DNA model.
