Abstract: In this article, we prove the existence of Arnold diffusion for an interesting specific system -- discrete nonlinear Schr"odinger equation. The proof is for the 5-dimensional case with or without resonance. In higher dimensions, the problem is open. Progresses are made by establishing a complete set of Melnikov-Arnold integrals in higher and infinite dimensions. The openness lies at the concrete computation of these Melnikov-Arnold integrals. New machineries introduced here into the topic of Arnold diffusion are the Darboux transformation and isospectral theory of integrable systems.


The goal of this paper is to study in detail the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLS) and its continuous version, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS). DNLS is an integrable finite difference discretization of NLS. An interesting fact about DNLS is that one can choose and change the dimensions of the phase space by selecting the number of particles in the discretizations. For a two-particle case, under periodic Hamiltonian perturbations, the resulting system is 5-dimensional, for which the author proves the existence of Arnold diffusion.
