On a (2+1)-dimensional generalization of the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice and a discrete Davey-Stewartson system

We propose a natural (2+1)-dimensional generalization of the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice that is an integrable space discretization of the cubic nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) system in 1+1 dimensions. By further requiring rotational symmetry of order 2 in the two-dimensional lattice, we identify an appropriate change of dependent variables, which translates the (2+1)-dimensional Ablowitz-Ladik lattice into a suitable space discretization of the Davey-Stewartson system. The space-discrete Davey-Stewartson system has a Lax pair and allows the complex conjugation reduction between two dependent variables as in the continuous case. Moreover, it is ideally symmetric with respect to space reflections. Using the Hirota bilinear method, we construct some exact solutions such as multidromion solutions.
