| contents | We describe a nonlinear kagome lattice with nonlinear dynamics described by Klein-Gordon interactions with a scalar unknown at each node, such as might occur in a nonlinear electrical lattice. We show that the dispersion relation has three bands - a flat band and two other surfaces which may meet in Dirac points or be separated by a gap. By using multiple scales asymptotic methods, we find a variety of reductions to nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) systems, some of which are similar to those obtained previously, and have the Townes soliton as a solution. We find a novel system of coupled NLS equations, by forming an asymptotic expansion for small amplitude weakly nonlinear waves around the point where the flat band meets the upper surface of the dispersion relation. We analyse this 2+1 dimensional system using Lie symmetries, and find further reductions to more complicated solitary wave solutions. Numerical simulations of the wave are also presented. |
