  The existence of highly localized multi-site oscillatory structures (discrete
multibreathers) in a nonlinear Klein-Gordon chain which is characterized by an
inverse dispersion law is proven and their linear stability is investigated.
The results are applied in the description of vertical (transverse, off-plane)
dust grain motion in dusty plasma crystals, by taking into account the lattice
discreteness and the sheath electric and/or magnetic field nonlinearity.
Explicit values from experimental plasma discharge experiments are considered.
The possibility for the occurrence of multibreathers associated with vertical
charged dust grain motion in strongly-coupled dusty plasmas (dust crystals) is
thus established. From a fundamental point of view, this study aims at
providing a first rigorous investigation of the existence of intrinsic
localized modes in Debye crystals and/or dusty plasma crystals and, in fact,
suggesting those lattices as model systems for the study of fundamental crystal
properties.
