Abstract

In the present short volume our aim will be to explore a variety of nonlinear wave structures that are found in a particular physical system, i.e., granular crystals. Many of the readers have almost certainly encountered a variant of the granular crystal.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A note on nomenclature: In the literature, a monomer chain is also called a monatomic chain, uniform chain, or homogenous chain.

  2. 2.

    The choice of \(N-1\) is made purely for reasons of notational convenience.
