In this talk, we provide a unifying perspective for the spectral stability of traveling waves in Hamiltonian nonlinear dynamical lattices, of which the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam and the Toda lattice are prototypical examples. We connect two different approaches of studying the stability of traveling waves: one is as an eigenvalue problem for a stationary...
