Initial wavepacket Time periodic solution Initial Spontaneous Formation of a DISCRETE BREATHER no radiation Limit Serge Aubry, Aubry, LLB, FRANCE Sievers and Takeno (1988): from a initial localized wavepacket radiation Chaotic or « quasiperiodic » transient Transient radiation A large part of the initial energy remains localized as a DB, the rest spreads to zero at infinity The second moment diverges but the participation number does not
