Dynamics of nonautonomous discrete rogue wave solutions for an Ablowitz-Musslimani equation with PT-symmetric potential.

Starting from a discrete spectral problem, we derive a hierarchy of nonlinear discrete equations which include the Ablowitz-Ladik (AL) equation. We analytically study the discrete rogue-wave (DRW) solutions of AL equation with three free parameters. The trajectories of peaks and depressions of profiles for the first- and second-order DRWs are produced by means of analytical and numerical methods. In particular, we study the solutions with dispersion in parity-time ( PT) symmetric potential for Ablowitz-Musslimani equation. And we consider the non-autonomous DRW solutions, parameters controlling and their interactions with variable coefficients, and predict the long-living rogue wave solutions. Our results might provide useful information for potential applications of synthetic PT symmetric systems in nonlinear optics and condensed matter physics.
