Symmetries and conserved quantities of discrete wave equation associated with the Ablowitz-Ladik-Lattice system

In this paper, we present a new method to obtain the Lie symmetries and conserved quantities of the discrete wave equation with the Ablowitz-Ladik-Lattice equations. Firstly, the wave equation is transformed into a simple difference equation with the Ablowitz-Ladik-Lattice method. Secondly, according to the invariance of the discrete wave equation and the Ablowitz-Ladik-Lattice equations under infinitesimal transformation of dependent and independent variables, we derive the discrete determining equation and the discrete restricted equations. Thirdly, a series of the discrete analogs of conserved quantities, the discrete analogs of Lie groups, and the characteristic equations are obtained for the wave equation. Finally, we study a model of a biological macromolecule chain of mechanical behaviors, the Lie symmetry theory of discrete wave equation with the Ablowitz-Ladik-Lattice method is verified.
