Existence and stability of traveling waves for discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equations over long times

We consider the problem of existence and stability of solitary traveling waves for the one dimensional discrete non linear Schroedinger equation (DNLS) with cubic nonlinearity, near the continuous limit.We construct a family of solutions close to the continuous traveling waves and prove their stability over long times. Applying a modulation method, we also show that we can describe the dynamics near these discrete traveling waves over long times.
