These are induced by destructive interference, and typically host compact localized eigenstates (CLS) which occupy a finite number $U$ of unit cells. FBs are important due to macroscopic degeneracy and consequently due to their high sensitivity and strong response to different types of weak perturbations. We use a recently introduced classification of FB networks based on CLS properties, and extend the FB Hamiltonian generator introduced in Phys. Rev. B 95, 115135 (2017) to an arbitrary number $\\nu$ of bands in the band structure, and arbitrary size $U$ of a CLS. The FB Hamiltonian is a solution to equations that we identify with an inverse eigenvalue problem. These can be solved only numerically in general. By imposing additional constraints, e.g. a chiral symmetry, we are able to find analytical solutions to the inverse eigenvalue problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-18T09:24:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "compact localized states", "invariant lattice hamiltonians contains", "flatband generator", "host compact localized eigenstates", "contains strictly dispersionless flatbands" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
