From discrete nonlocal nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation to coupled discrete Heisenberg ferromagnet equation

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the nonlocal discrete focusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) and nonlocal discrete defocusing NLS equation are gauge equivalent to the discrete coupled Heisenberg ferromagnet (HF) equation and the discrete modified coupled HF equation, respectively. Under the continuous limit, the discrete coupled HF equation and the modified discrete coupled HF equation lead to the corresponding coupled HF equation and modified coupled HF equation. This means that the nonlocal focusing and defocusing NLS equations are gauge equivalent to the coupled HF and coupled modified HF equations. The solution of the modified coupled HF equation is obtained by using the solution of nonlocal defocusing NLS equation.
