Embedded solitons in the double sine-Gordon lattice with next-neighbor interactions

Topological solitons can propagate without radiation in discrete media. These solutions are known as embedded solitons (ES). They come as isolated solutions and exist despite their resonance with the linear spectrum of the respective lattices. In this paper the properties of embedded solitons in the discrete double sine-Gordon equation with next-neighbor and second-neighbor interactions are investigated. Depending on the sign of these interactions they can be either destructive or favorable for the ES creation. The ES existence area depends on the width of the linear spectrum: narrowing of the spectrum widens the ES existence range and vice versa. The application to the Josephson junction arrays is discussed.
