Abstract: We consider a coupled system of differential-difference nonlinear equations. We study the dynamics of such a diatomic lattice showing global existence and uniqueness in an appropriate function space. Our approach based on energy estimates allows us to prove the result only in the case where nonlinear force constants are positive and equal. All other situations remain at this point as open problems.
