Abstract: The Heisenberg equation for phonon operators in nonlinear lattices is derived establishing the interaction Hamiltonian included higher powers of particle-hole pairs in nonlinear lattices. A phonon operator consists of a particle-hole pair in the harmonic potential approximation in the two band model; it represents an up or down transition of atoms between two levels. Applying the boson transformation method to the Heisenberg equation for phonon operators, we obtain the classical dynamical equation and a linear equation with the self-consistent potential created by the extended objects in nonlinear lattices. The boson transformation leads to soliton solutions in the long wavelength limit. The linear equation can be used to obtain scattering states, bound states and translational modes for phonons.
