Sumario:The Ablowitz–Ladik system, being one of the few integrable nonlinear lattices, admits a wide class of analytical solutions, ranging from exact spatially localized solitons to rational solutions in the form of the spatiotemporally localized discrete Peregrine soliton. Proving a closeness result between the solutions of the Ablowitz–Ladik system and a wide class of Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger systems in a sense of a continuous dependence on their initial data, we establish that such small amplitude waveforms may be supported in nonintegrable lattices for significantly large times. Nonintegrable systems exhibiting such behavior include a generalization of the Ablowitz–Ladik system with power-law nonlinearity and the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with power-law and saturable nonlinearities. The outcome of numerical simulations illustrates, in excellent agreement with the analytical results, the persistence of small amplitude Ablowitz–Ladik analytical solutions in all the nonintegrable systems considered in this work, with the most striking example being that of the Peregine soliton.
