Single-particle edge state in a local-resonance-induced topological band gap

This paper demonstrates that modifying a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger-inspired stiffness dimer with a local resonator creates a topological band gap that supports an ultra-localized edge state confined to a single boundary particle, achieving the theoretical limit of localization through an attenuation singularity while remaining robust against disorder via tuned boundaries.
