Abstract

Collisions between identical solitons in a weakly perturbed Ablowitz-Ladik (AL) model was examined. Weak perturbations generated large changes of amplitudes and velocities of the colliding solitons. It was observed that the outcomes of the collisions depended on the initial phase difference between the solitons and location of the collision. It was concluded that the small perturbations very weakly affect the energy conservation, but completely destroy the conservation of the lattice momentum.
