Perturbation-induced radiation by the Ablowitz-Ladik soliton
An efficient formalism is elaborated to analytically describe dynamics of the
Ablowitz-Ladik soliton in the presence of perturbations. This formalism is
based on using the Riemann-Hilbert problem and provides the means of
calculating evolution of the discrete soliton parameters, as well as shape
distortion and perturbation-induced radiation effects. As an example, soliton
characteristics are calculated for linear damping and quintic perturbations.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, Phys. Rev. E (in press
