Audit review
The paper proves existence of front traveling-wave (generalized solitary-wave) solutions in the diatomic FPUT lattice with explicit leading tanh core, an optical tail of prescribed algebraically small amplitude I=ε^4 I0, and sharp bounds on the localized and periodic corrections. The candidate solution reproduces the theorem’s statement and follows the same Beale-type gluing strategy on a center(-manifold/normal-form) reduction: kink + cut-off periodic tail + small correction, with solvability conditions fixing the phase and frequency shift. Minor discrepancies include the model’s claim of a 4D reduced normal form (the paper’s normal form is effectively 5D by translation invariance) and a few notational scalings in the dispersion determinant. Otherwise the constants, asymptotics, tail structure, and estimates match the paper’s result and method.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field \textbf{Justification:} A careful and modern spatial-dynamics/normal-form construction gives generalized solitary (front) waves in position variables for the diatomic FPUT lattice with algebraically small optical tails. The proof is rigorous, constants explicit, and the strategy lends itself to multi-front generalizations. Minor clarifications (notation, effective dimension, brief connection to Beale’s method) would enhance readability.
