Summary:
Nonlinearity and discreteness can cause energy localizations called intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) in a coupled oscillator array. A spatial physical manifestation of this localization is the P-mode ILM, which is an anti-symmetric spatial mode. By contrast, the ST-mode is a symmetric spatial mode. In this effort, the P-mode is studied by means of the restricted normal mode approach, and insights gained into the dynamics of this localization are discussed.
