Discretization of the Mikhailov model

In this paper the Mikhailov model is discretized by means of the Cauchy matrix approach. A pair of discrete Miura transformations are constructed. The discrete Mikhailov model is a coupled system, in which one equation comes from the compatibility of the two Miura transformations, the other is transformed from the discrete negative order Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur system by using the Miura transformations. Explicit solutions, including solitons and multiple-pole solutions, are presented via two Cauchy matrix schemes respectively, namely, the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur type and the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili type. By straight continuum limits, semi-discrete and continuous Mikhailov models together with their Cauchy matrix structures and solutions are recovered.
