We use a specialized boundary-value problem solver for mixed-type functional
differential equations to numerically examine the landscape of traveling wave
solutions to the diatomic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) problem. By using a
continuation approach, we are able to uncover the relationship between the
branches of micropterons and nanopterons that have been rigorously constructed
recently in various limiting regimes. We show that the associated surfaces are
connected together in a nontrivial fashion and illustrate the key role that
solitary waves play in the branch points. Finally, we numerically show that the
diatomic solitary waves are stable under the full dynamics of the FPUT system
