Abstract

An elastic periodic chain of atoms in periodic potential has been considered. Numerical simulations revealed the existence of stepwise behavior of the ground state graph near the origin. Such behavior is not observed in the continuous medium approximation. The step height is equal to one-half the classical frequency.
