Abstract In this study, we present the rigorous theory of the robust inverse scattering method for the discrete high-order nonlinear Schrödinger (HNLS) equation with a nonzero boundary condition (NZBC). Using the direct scattering problem, we deduce the analyticity, symmetries, and asymptotic behaviors of the Jost solutions and scattering matrix. We also formulate the inverse scattering problem using the matrix Riemann–Hilbert problem (RHP). Furthermore, utilizing the loop group theory, we construct the multi-fold Darboux transformation (DT) within the framework of the robust inverse scattering transform. Additionally, we develop the corresponding Bäcklund transformation (BT) to obtain the multi-fold lattice soliton solutions. To derive the high-order rational solutions, we further construct the high-order DT. Finally, we theoretically and graphically analyze these solutions, which exhibit lattice breather waves, W-shape lattice solitons, high-order lattice rogue waves (RW), and their interactions.
