The zigzag waveguide array is considered, where even waveguides are composed of optically linear material, and their nearest neighbors are characterized by positive cubic nonlinearity and negative fifth-order nonlinearity. In the continuum (long-wave) approximation the solutions of the system of coupled wave equations are found, which describe waves localized in the lattice and harmonic propagating waves. Keywords: nonlinear waves, discrete photonics, waveguides, solitons.
