title: Discrete Ginzburg-Landau solitons.
abstract: We demonstrate that discrete solitons are possible in Ginzburg-Landau lattices. As a result of discreteness, we find that this system exhibits a host of features that have no counterpart whatsoever in either the continuous limit or in other conservative discrete models.
