NEWLINE\\]NEWLINE It is supposed that the nonlinear potential is \\(C^2\\)- and \\(1\\)-periodic. Furthermore, \\(W(a)>0=W(0)=W'(0)\\) for every \\(a\\in \\mathbb{R}\\setminus \\mathbb{Z}\\) and \\(W''(0)>0\\). A traveling wave is a solution of the form \\(q_n(t)=u(n-ct)\\), where \\(c\\) is the speed of the wave. The profile function \\(u\\) satisfies certain advance-delay differential equation. The authors look for solutions satisfying the following conditions at infinity NEWLINE\\[NEWLINE u(\\pm \\infty )\\in \\mathbb{Z},\\quad u(+\\infty )-u(-\\infty )\\in 1+2\\mathbb{Z}. NEWLINE\\]NEWLINE The main result shows that for any \\(c>1\\) there exists such a wave. These are supersonic waves. Furthermore, if \\(c\\geq \\sqrt {25/24}\\), then there exists a traveling wave with \\(u(+\\infty )-u(-\\infty )=1\\)."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-01-20T09:54:06Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
