Abstract
Existence of 'breathers', that is, time-periodic, spatially localized solutions, is proved for a broad range of time-reversible or Hamiltonian networks of weakly coupled oscillators. Some of their properties are discussed, some generalizations suggested, and several open questions raised.Keywords
