The modulational instability of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation, describing the dynamics of Bose–Einstein condensates in deep optical lattices, is examined in the presence of a superimposed harmonic confinement. We obtain an interval of values of the trap frequency where suppression of the modulational instability can be achieved. The trap frequency thresholds are obtained for a specific, experimentally realistic setup in which the sign of the interatomic scattering length is changed through a Feshbach resonance. Analogies and differences with the continuous limit are highlighted.
