The exact solutions and their linear stability analysis for 2-dimensional Ablowitz-Ladik equation

Abstract

The Ablowitz-Ladik equation is a very important model in the nonlinear mathematical physics. In this paper, the hyperbolic function solitary wave solutions, the trigonometric function periodic wave solutions and the rational wave solutions with more arbitrary parameters of 2-dimensional Ablowitz-Ladik equation are derived by using the GG-expansion method, and the effect of the parameters (including the coupling constant and other parameters) on the linear stability of the exact solutions is analysed and numerically simulated.
