We analyze nonlinear collective effects in periodic systems with multi-gaptransmission spectra such as light in waveguide arrays or Bose-Einsteincondensates in optical lattices. We demonstrate that the inter-bandinteractions in nonlinear periodic gratings can be efficiently managed bycontrolling their geometry, and predict novel types of discrete vector solitonssupported by nonlinear coupling between different bandgaps and study theirstability.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
