摘要
In this paper, a periodic discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation with saturable nonlinearity is considered. Using the critical point theory in combination with periodic approximations, we establish sufficient conditions on the nonexistence and on the existence of gap solitons. Our results not only solve an open problem proposed by Pankov (2006 Nonlinearity 19 27-40) but also considerably improve some existing ones even for some special cases.
