Asymptotic stability of localized modes in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation was earlier established for septic and higher-order nonlinear terms by using Strichartz estimate. We use here pointwise dispersive decay estimates to push down the lower bound for the exponent of the nonlinear terms.
