Metastability of solitary waves in diatomic FPUT lattices

It is known that long waves in spatially periodic polymer Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou lattices are well-approximated for long, but not infinite, times by suitably scaled solutions of Korteweg-de Vries equations. It is also known that dimer FPUT lattices possess nanopteron solutions, i.e., traveling wav...
