Description

We have obtained exact analytical expressions in closed form, for the linear modes excited in finite and discrete systems that are driven by a spatially homogeneous alternating field. Those modes are extended for frequencies within the linear frequency band while they are either end-localized or end-avoided for frequencies outside the linear frequency band. The analytical solutions are resonant at particular frequencies, which compose the frequency dispersion relation of the finite system.
