Abstract

We study a scheme from citeFV99, which allows to approximate periodic traveling waves in the nonlinear atomic chain with nearest neighbour interactions. We prove a compactness result for this scheme, and derive some generalizations. Moreover, we discuss the thermodynamic properties of traveling waves.
