Solitary waves in a discrete nonlinear Dirac equation

In the present work, we introduce a discrete formulation of the nonlinear Dirac equation in the form of a discretization of the Gross – Neveu model. The motivation for this discrete model proposal is both computational (near the continuum limit) and theoretical (using the understanding of the anti-c...
