heal.abstract	Soliton dynamics in a large variety of longitudinally modulated lattices are studied in terms of phase-space analysis for an effective particle approach and direct numerical simulations. Complex soliton dynamics are shown to depend strongly on both their power and width and their initial momentum as well as on lattice parameters. A rich set of qualitatively distinct dynamical features of soliton propagation that have no counterpart in longitudinally uniform lattices is illustrated. This set includes cases of enhanced soliton mobility, dynamical switching, extended trapping in several transverse lattice periods, and quasiperiodic trapping, which are promising for soliton control applications. © 2011 American Physical Society.	en
