    Abstract : The Bose-Hubbard model is used to study bosons in optical lattices. In this thesis we will use an extended Bose-Hubbard model to study a type of completely localized solutions, called compactons. The compactons are a special case of the much studied solitons. The soliton is a familiar concept in non-linear physics. READ MORE
