We address the existence and bifurcation of periodic travelling wave solutions in forced spatially discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations with local interactions. We consider polynomial type and bounded nonlinearities. The mathematical methods are based in using Palais-Smale conditions and variational methods. Some generalizations are also discussed.
Keywords: Travelling wave, Bifurcations., Forced discrete Schrödinger equation.
