On the inverse scattering transform to the discrete Hirota equation with nonzero boundary conditions

Abstract

Under investigation in this work is the robust inverse scattering transform of the discrete Hirota equation with nonzero boundary conditions, which is applied to solve simultaneously arbitrary-order poles on the branch points and spectral singularities. Using the inverse scattering transform method, we construct the Darboux transformation but not with the limit progress, which is more convenient than before. Several kinds of rational solutions are derived in detail. These solutions contain W-shape solitons, breathers, high-order rogue waves, and various interactions between solitons and breathers. Moreover, we analyze some remarkable characteristics of rational solutions through graphics. Our results are useful to explain the related nonlinear wave phenomena.
