Bilinearization-reduction approach to the classical and nonlocal semi-discrete modified Korteweg-de Vries equations with nonzero backgrounds

Abstract: Quasi double Casoratian solutions are derived for a bilinear system reformulated from the coupled semi-discrete modified Korteweg-de Vries equations with nonzero backgrounds. These solutions, when applied with the classical and nonlocal reduction techniques, also satisfy the corresponding classical and nonlocal semi-discrete modified Korteweg-de Vries equations with nonzero backgrounds. They can be expressed explicitly, allowing for an easy investigation of the dynamics of systems. As illustrative examples, the dynamics of solitonic, periodic and rational solutions with a plane wave background are examined for the focusing semi-discrete Korteweg-de Vries equation and the defocusing reverse-space-time complex semi-discrete Korteweg-de Vries equation.
