Three types of phenomena • The vacancy moves backwards. • The vacancy moves forwards. • The vacancy remains at its site.
Probability of the vacancy’s movement C=0.4 backwards Probability remains forwards
Probability of the vacancy’s movement C=0.5 backwards Probability forwards remains
The coupling forces Morse potentials
Probability of the vacancy’s movement C=0.5 backwards Probability forwards remains
Probability of the vacancy’s movement C=0.4 backwards Probability remains forwards
C=0.4 bifurcation
C=0.5 bifurcation

Conclusions • The moving breathers can move vacancies. • The behaviour is very complex and it depends of the values of the coupling. • The changes of the probabilities of the different movements of the vacancies are related with the existence of bifurcations. • Is there a more rich complexity from 1-dim to 2-dim ?
