Abstract

We investigate the soliton resolution and Painlev\'e asymptotics for the focusing Ablowitz-Ladik system with the initial data in a discrete weighted 2\ell^2 space. First, we establish the global well-posedness of this initial-value problem, which is further reformulated as a Riemann-Hilbert problem with higher-order poles. Using Fredholm theory, the Riemann-Hilbert problem with the jump contour consisting of three circles centered around the origin is uniquely solved. Then, by performing a ˉ\bar\partial-nonlinear steepest descent method to the Riemann-Hilbert problem, we obtain the asymptotic approximation to the solution of the focusing Ablowitz-Ladik system for large time in different space-time regions of the (n,t)(n,t)-half plane. In the sectors {(n,t):n/(2t)<M0}\{(n,t): n /(2t) <-M_0 \} and {(n,t):n/(2t)>M0}\{(n,t): n /(2t) >M_0 \}, where M0M_0 is a positive constant, the leading order asymptotics is dominated by the solitons; while in the sector {(n,t):n/(2t)1<M01}\{(n,t): |n /(2t) -1 <M_0^{-1} \}, the long-time asymptotics is influenced by both the solitons and the oscillations; In the two transition zones {(n,t):n/(2t)+1t2/3<C}\{(n,t): |n /(2t)+1|t^{2/3} <C \} and {(n,t):n/(2t)1t2/3<C}\{(n,t): |n /(2t)-1|t^{2/3} <C \} with CC being a positive constant, we find the Painlev\'e-type asymptotics which can be expressed in terms of the solution of the second Painlev\'e transcendents.
