Various types of discrete solitons in arrays of coupled optical cavities endowed with a quadratic or cubic nonlinearity are identified. Some of them are unique to discrete models. We study the stability and mobility of these soliton solutions and find that discreteness influences appreciable this behavior. Ultimately, various interaction scenarios are investigated.
