Summary:
Spatially localized and temporally periodic solutions exist in a nonlinear coupled oscillator arrays. Because the energy of the solution is localized within a few sites, localized solutions exist even in a two-degree-offreedom system. In this paper, bifurcations regarding the localized solutions are investigated by using the simple averaging method. Bifurcation sets are derived analytically and it is confirmed numerically.
