Abstract
In this paper we describe an approximate method to characterise solitary wave solutions of nonlinear lattice equations. It is based upon one and two point Pade approximations to a series of the real exponential travelling wave solutions of the underlying dispersive system. The theory is applied to an example of a lattice system which models an experimental nonlinear transmission line and the results obtained are consistent with numerical simulations even for relatively large amplitude solitary waves. The speed-amplitude relation is investigated and compared with that derived using quasi-continuum methods.
