Abstract

We consider implicit nonlinear lattice equations modelling one-dimensional metamaterials formed by a discrete array of nonlinear split-ring resonators. We study the existence and bifurcation of localised excitations and use the results to prove the existence of periodic travelling waves in the presence of small damping and travelling drive. Two different systems are considered, with each of them admitting either homoclinic or heteroclinic solutions.
