Multi-site Compact-Like Discrete Breather in Discrete One-Dimensional Monatomic Chains

Multi-site compact-like discrete breathers in discrete one-dimensional monatomic chains are investigated by discussing a generalized discrete one-dimensional monatomic model. We obtain that the two-site compact-like discrete breathers with codes σ = （0,..., 0, 1, 1, 0,..., 0）and codes σ= （0,..., 0, 1, -1, 0, ..., 0） can exist in discrete one-dimensional monatomic chain with quartic on-site and inter-site potentials. However, the former can only exist in hard quartic on-site potential and cannot exist in soft quartic on-site potential, whereas the latter is just reversed. A11 of the two-site Compact-like discrete breathers with codes σ = （0,..., 0, 1, 1, 0,..., 0） and σ （0,... ,0, 1, -1,0,... ,0} cannot exist in a pure K4 chain.
