“…41, integrable symplectic maps and novel theta function solutions for Equation () were constructed through integrable Hamiltonian systems associated with the continuous sG equation. In contract, in this paper, we start from the Kaup‐Newell spectral problem 45 and the associated discrete spectral problem In this example, we actually have a different type of situation from the one of the previous examples 16,41,42 since the relation between the discrete potential and the continuous potentials is implicit. However, based on the Lax structure of the Kaup‐Newell equation, (), the system can still be nonlinearized, in the sense mentioned above, as an integrable symplectic map.…”
