Abstract: Subject of the talk will be the derivation and rigorous mathematical justification of macroscopic continuum models describing the effective dynamics of amplitude-modulated plane waves in discrete lattices. We will present different continuum models (e.g. the nonlinear Schrödinger and the three-wave-interaction equations) corresponding to different ansatz'es and describing different physical phenomena.
