Abstract: The moving nonlinear excitations (intrinsic localized vibrational modes) for one-dimensional homogeneous monoatomic lattice with quartic anharmonicity are obtained analytically by means of the semidiscrete approximation, with which the carrier wave is treated explicitly while the envelope function is described in the continuum approximation. Besides the moving pulse-like type of excitations, which was found previously in both analytical and numerical works, we find that the moving kink-like type of excitations can also exist. And the kink-like excitations appeared previously only in the stationary form for such a lattice system.
