Abstract
Spatially localized nonlinear modes supported by a pointlike impurity, in the framework of the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation were analyzed. Three possible types of such nonlinear impurity modes were considered, symmetric one- and two-hump modes and asymmetric one-hump mode. Their regions of existence and stability for both focusing and defocusing nonlinearity of a bulk medium and two different types of the impurity. An analytical stability criterion for nonlinear localized modes based on the results of the linear stability analysis of the generalized NLS equation was obtained.
