Abstract

In this paper, we propose a soliton gas solution for the focusing Ablowitz-Ladik system. This solution is defined as the large N limit of the N-soliton solution, and arises from a continuous spectrum of poles that accumulate within two disjoint intervals on the imaginary axis. We show that this gas solution admits a Fredholm determinant representation. By further exploring its Riemann-Hilbert characterization, we are able to establish the large-space asymptotics at t = 0 and large-time asymptotics of the gas solution.
