context_page_description: In physics, a breather is a nonlinear wave in which energy concentrates in a localized and oscillatory fashion. This contradicts with the expectations derived from the corresponding linear system for infinitesimal amplitudes, which tends towards an even distribution of initially localized energy.
  A discrete breather is a breather solution on a nonlinear lattice.
  The term breather originates from the characteristic that most breathers are localized in space and oscillate in time. But also the opposite situation: oscillations in space and localized in time, is denoted as a breather.
