We make a basic review of the theory of discrete breathers – spatially localized solutions in nonlinear lattices. We describe the mathematical conditions and physical prerequisites of their existence and methods of their study by example of one-dimensional lattices. We consider localized solutions with infinite and finite lifetimes. We include some new results within the problems of discrete breather generation resulting from harmonic wave destruction and controlling the formation of rotational breather solutions by external forcing.
