Abstract
We study spatiotemporal solitons at the edge of a semi-infinite
binary array of optical waveguides and, in particular, predict theoretically
the existence of a novel type of surface soliton, the surface gap light bullets.
We analyze the stability properties of these solitons in the framework of the
continuous-discrete model of an array of two types of optical waveguides.
