Abstract

We propose a mechanism for soliton creation from resonantly excited localized waves via supratransmission in band gaps of nonlinear lattices. A nonlinear localized wave, which is formed by and vibrates around an impurity with an intrinsic frequency, is found to undergo a local resonance when subject to an external forcing. Under the resonance, an instability develops that leads to the efficient emission of solitons at a much lower rate than that in uniform lattices with no impurity.
