We construct rogue wave and breather solutions of a quasi-two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a time-dependent interatomic interaction and external trap. We show that the trapping potential and an arbitrary functional parameter that present in the similarity transformation should satisfy a constraint for the considered equation to be integrable and yield the desired solutions. We consider two different forms of functional parameters and investigate how the density of the rogue wave and breather profiles vary with respect to these functional parameters. We also construct vector localized solutions of a two coupled quasi-two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate system. We then investigate how the vector localized density profiles modify in the constant density background with respect to the functional parameters. Our results may help to manipulate matter rogue waves experimentally in the two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate systems.
We construct breather and rogue wave solutions of a variable coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation with an external linear potential. This generalized model describes the nonlinear wave propagation in an inhomogeneous plasma/medium. We derive several localized solutions including Ma breather, Akhmediev breather, two-breather and rogue wave solutions of this model and show how the inhomogeneity of space modifies the shape and orientation of these localized structures. We also depict the trajectories of the inhomogeneous rogue wave. Our results may be useful for controlling plasmonic energy…
We construct Darboux transformation of a coupled generalized nonlinear Schrödinger (CGNLS) equations and obtain exact analytic expressions of breather and rogue wave solutions. We also formulate the conditions for isolating these solutions. We show that the rogue wave solution can be found only when the four wave mixing parameter becomes real. We also investigate the modulation instability of the steady state solution of CGNLS system and demonstrate that it can occur only when the four wave mixing parameter becomes real. Our results give an evidence for the connection between the occurrence of…
We consider a coherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation with modulated self-phase modulation, cross-phase modulation, and four-wave mixing nonlinearities and varying refractive index in anisotropic graded index nonlinear medium. By identifying an appropriate similarity transformation, we obtain a general localized wave solution and investigate their dynamics with a proper set of modulated nonlinearities. In particular, our study reveals different manifestations of localized waves such as stable solitons, Akhmediev breathers, Ma breathers, and rogue waves of bright, bright-dark, and dar…
We construct higher order rogue wave solutions and breather profiles for the quasi-one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a time-dependent interatomic interaction and external trap through the similarity transformation technique. We consider three different forms of traps, namely (i) time-independent expulsive trap, (ii) time-dependent monotonous trap and (iii) time-dependent periodic trap. Our results show that when we change a parameter appearing in the time-independent or time-dependent trap the second and third-order rogue waves transform into the first-order like rogue waves. We a…
In this paper, we construct a special kind of breather solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, the so-called breather-positon ({\it b-positon} for short), which can be obtained by taking the limit $λ_{j}$ $\rightarrow$ $λ_{1}$ of the Lax pair eigenvalues in the order-$n$ periodic solution which is generated by the $n$-fold Darboux transformation from a special "seed" solution--plane wave. Further, an order-$n$ {\it b-positon} gives an order-$n$ rogue wave under a limit $λ_1\rightarrow λ_0$. Here $λ_0$ is a special eigenvalue in a breather of the NLS equation such that its period …
In this work, we construct various interesting localized wave structures of the Benjamin-Ono equation describing the dynamics of deep water waves. Particularly, we extract the rogue waves and generalized breather solutions with the aid of bilinear form and by applying two appropriate test functions. Our analysis reveals the control mechanism of the rogue waves with arbitrary parameters to obtain both bright and dark type first and second-order rogue waves. Additionally, a generalization of the homoclinic breather method, also known as the three-wave method, is used for extracting the generaliz…
We construct dark-dark solitons, general breather (GB), Akhmediev breather (AB), Ma soliton (MS) and rogue wave (RW) solutions of a coupled generalized nonlinear Schrödinger (CGNLS) equation. While the dark-dark solitons are captured in the defocusing regime of CGNLS system, the other solutions, namely GB, AB, MS and RW, are identified in the focusing regime. We also analyze the structures of GB, AB, MS and RW profiles with respect to the four-wave mixing parameter. We show that when we increase the value of the real part of the four wave mixing parameter, the number of peaks in the breather p…
In the present investigation, the solutions on the periodic and double-periodic background are successfully constructed by Darboux transformation using a plane wave seed solution. Firstly, the Darboux transformation for the reverse-space-time DNLS equation is constructed. Secondly, periodic solutions, breathers, double-periodic solutions, breathers on the periodic background and double-periodic background are studied. Thirdly, the higher-order rogue waves on the periodic and double-periodic background are constructed by semi-degenerate Darboux transformations. In addition, the dynamic behavior…
We present explicit forms of general breather (GB), Akhmediev breather (AB), Ma soliton (MS) and rogue wave (RW) solutions of the two component nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, namely Manakov equation. We derive these solutions through two different routes. In the forward route we first construct a suitable periodic envelope soliton solution to this model from which we derive GB, AB, MS and RW solutions. We then consider the RW solution as the starting point and derive AB, MS and GB in the reverse direction. The second approach has not been illustrated so far for the two component NLS equ…
We derive the two-breather solution of the class I infinitely extended nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE). We present a general form of this multi-parameter solution that includes infinitely many free parameters of the equation and free parameters of the two breather components. Particular cases of this solution include rogue wave triplets, and special cases of breather-to-soliton and rogue wave-to-soliton transformations. The presence of many parameters in the solution allows one to describe wave propagation problems with higher accuracy than with the use of the basic NLSE.
We consider the exact rogue periodic wave (rogue wave on the periodic background) and periodic wave solutions for the Chen-Lee-Liu equation via the odd-th order Darboux transformation. Then, the multi-layer physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) deep learning method is applied to research the data-driven rogue periodic wave, breather wave, soliton wave and periodic wave solutions of well-known Chen-Lee-Liu equation. Especially, the data-driven rogue periodic wave is learned for the first time to solve the partial differential equation. In addition, using image simulation, the relevant dynami…
We consider a two-level atomic system, interacting with an electromagnetic field controlled in amplitude and frequency by a high intensity laser. We show that the amplitude of the induced electric field, admits an envelope profile corresponding to a breather soliton. We demonstrate that this soliton can propagate with any frequency shift with respect to that of the control laser, except a critical frequency, at which the system undergoes a structural discontinuity that transforms the breather in a rogue wave. A mechanism of generation of rogue waves by means of an intense laser field is thus r…
We construct the multi-breather solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) on the background of elliptic functions by the Darboux transformation, and express them in terms of the determinant of theta functions. The dynamics of the breathers in the presence of various kinds of backgrounds such as dn, cn, and non-trivial phase-modulating elliptic solutions are presented, and their behaviors dependent on the effect of backgrounds are elucidated. We also determine the asymptotic behaviors for the multi-breather solutions with different velocities in the limit $t\to\pm\infty$, …
Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, short pulse equation and complex short pulse equation have important application in nonlinear optics. They can be derived from the Maxwell equation. In this paper, we investigate a coupled focusing-defocusing complex short pulse equation. The bright-bright, bright-dark and dark-dark soliton solutions of the coupled focusing-defocusing complex short pulse equation are given. Then the breathers are derived from the dark soliton solution. The rogue wave solutions are also constructed. The dynamics and the asymptotic behavior of the soliton solutions are analyzed, w…
In this paper, using the Darboux transformation, we demonstrate the generation of first order breather and higher-order rogue waves from a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with several higher-order nonlinear effects representing femtosecond pulse propagation through nonlinear silica fiber. The same nonlinear evolution equation can also describes the soliton-type nonlinear excitations in classical Heisenberg spin chain. Such solutions have a parameter $γ_1$, denoting the strength of the higher-order effects. From the numerical plots of the rational solutions, the compression effects o…
In the present paper, we are concerned with the general localized solutions for the complex short pulse equation including soliton, breather and rogue wave solutions. With the aid of a generalized Darboux transformation, we construct the $N$-bright soliton solution in a compact determinant form, then the $N$-breather solution including the Akhmediev breather and a general higher order rogue wave solution. The first- and second-order rogue wave solutions are given explicitly and illustrated by graphs. The asymptotic analysis is performed rigorously for both the $N$-soliton and the $N$-breather …
The one-dimensional focusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) on an unstable condensate background is the fundamental physical model, that can be applied to study the development of modulation instability (MI) and formation of rogue waves. The complete integrability of the NLSE via inverse scattering transform enables the decomposition of the initial conditions into elementary nonlinear modes: breathers and continuous spectrum waves. The small localized condensate perturbations (SLCP) that grow as a result of MI have been of fundamental interest in nonlinear physics for many years. Here, …
The infinite families of Peregrine, Akhmediev and Kuznetsov-Ma breather solutions of the focusing Nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) equation are obtained via a matrix version of the Darboux transformation, with a spectral matrix of the form of a Jordan block. The structure of these solutions is essentially determined by the corresponding solution of the Lyapunov equation. In particular, regularity follows from properties of the Lyapunov equation.
We present explicit solutions for breather soliton modes of excitation in the one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain. We identify a characteristic geometrical feature of these breather modes wherein a helicoidal configuration of spins is continuously transformed to one which differs from the initial helicoid by a total twist of `2'. This is a curious manoeuvre popularly known as the `belt trick', an illustration of the simple connectedness of the $\rm{SU}(2)$ group manifold, and its rotation period $4π$. We show that this effectively splits the configuration space of the ferromagn…

The third-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation (alias the Hirota equation) is investigated via deep leaning neural networks, which describes the strongly dispersive ion-acoustic wave in plasma and the wave propagation of ultrashort light pulses in optical fibers, as well as broader-banded waves on deep water. In this paper, we use the physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) deep learning method to explore the data-driven solutions (e.g., soliton, breather, and rogue waves) of the Hirota equation when the two types of the unperturbated and unperturbated (a 2% noise) training data are considere…
The nonlinear Schrodinger equation is a classical integrable equation which contains plenty of significant properties and occurs in many physical areas. However, due to the difficulty of solving this equation, in particular in high dimensions, lots of methods are proposed to effectively obtain different kinds of solutions, such as neural networks, among others. Recently, a method where some underlying physical laws are embeded into a conventional neural network is proposed to uncover the equation's dynamical behaviors from spatiotemporal data directly. Compared with traditional neural networks…
The Gerdjikov-Ivanov (GI) system of $q$ and $r$ is defined by a quadratic polynomial spectral problem with $2 \times 2$ matrix coefficients. Each element of the matrix of n-fold Darboux transformation of this system is expressed by a ratio of $(n+1)\times (n+1)$ determinant and $n\times n$ determinant of eigenfunctions, which implies the determinant representation of $q^{[n]}$ and $r^{[n]}$ generated from known solution $q$ and $r$. By choosing some special eigenvalues and eigenfunctions according to the reduction conditions $q^{[n]}=-(r^{[n]})^*$, the determinant representation of $q^{[n]}$ p…
We propose a novel, analytically tractable, scenario of the rogue wave formation in the framework of the small-dispersion focusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with the initial condition in the form of a rectangular barrier (a "box"). We use the Whitham modulation theory combined with the nonlinear steepest descent for the semi-classical inverse scattering transform, to describe the evolution and interaction of two counter-propagating nonlinear wave trains --- the dispersive dam break flows --- generated in the NLS box problem. We show that the interaction dynamics results in the emerg…
General higher-order breather and rogue wave (RW) solutions to the two-component long wave--short wave resonance interaction (2-LSRI) model are derived via the bilinear Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy reduction method and are given in terms of determinants. Under particular parametric conditions, the breather solutions can reduce to homoclinic orbits, or a mixture of breathers and homoclinic orbits. There are three families of RW solutions, which correspond to a simple root, two simple roots, and a double root of an algebraic equation related to the dimension reduction procedure. The first fa…
In the present paper, we attempt to construct both the general rogue wave solutions to the fully discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (fd-NLS) equation via the KP-Toda reduction method. First, we deduce the general breather solution of the fd-NLS equation starting from a pair of bilinear equations. We then derive the general rogue wave solution by taking a limit to the breather solution.
In this paper, we derive a Darboux transformation of the Hirota and the Maxwell-Bloch(H-MB) system which is governed by femtosecond pulse propagation through an erbium doped fibre and further generalize it to the matrix form of the $n$-fold Darboux transformation of this system. This $n$-fold Darboux transformation implies the determinant representation of $n$-th new solutions of $(E^{[n]},p^{[n]}, η^{[n]})$ generated from known solution of $(E, p,η)$. The determinant representation of $(E^{[n]},p^{[n]} ,η^{[n]})$ provides soliton solutions, positon solutions, and breather solutions (both brig…
Modulational instability has been used to explain the formation of breather and rogue waves qualitatively. In this paper, we show modulational instability can be used to explain the structure of them in a quantitative way. We develop a method to derive general forms for Akhmediev breather and rogue wave solutions in a $N$-component nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The existence condition for each pattern is clarified clearly. Moreover, the general multi-high-order rogue wave solutions and multi-Akhmediev breather solutions for $N$-component nonlinear Schrödinger equations are constructed. The …
In this paper, the determinant representation of the n-fold Darboux transformation (DT) of the Kundu-DNLS equation is given. Based on our analysis, the soliton solutions, positon solutions and breather solutions of the Kundu-DNLS equation are given explicitly. Further, we also construct the rogue wave solutions which are given by using the Taylor expansion of the breather solution. Particularly, these rogue wave solutions possess several free parameters. With the help of these parameters, these rogue waves constitute several patterns, such as fundamental pattern, triangular pattern, circular p…
In this brief report we study numerically the spontaneous emergence of rogue waves in (i) modulationally unstable plane wave at its long-time statistically stationary state and (ii) bound-state multi-soliton solutions representing the solitonic model of this state [Gelash et al, PRL 123, 234102 (2019)]. Focusing our analysis on the cohort of the largest rogue waves, we find their practically identical dynamical and statistical properties for both systems, that strongly suggests that the main mechanism of rogue wave formation for the modulational instability case is multi-soliton interaction. A…
General dark solitons and mixed solutions consisting of dark solitons and breathers for the third-type Davey-Stewartson (DS-III) equation are derived by employing the bilinear method. By introducing the two differential operators, semi-rational solutions consisting of rogue waves, breathers and solitons are generated. These semi-rational solutions are given in terms of determinants whose matrix elements have simple algebraic expressions. Under suitable parametric conditions, we derive general rogue wave solutions expressed in terms of rational functions. It is shown that the fundamental (simpl…
We introduce a mechanism for generating higher order rogue waves (HRWs) of the nonlinear Schrödinger(NLS) equation: the progressive fusion and fission of $n$ degenerate breathers associated with a critical eigenvalue $λ_0$, creates an order $n$ HRW. By adjusting the relative phase of the breathers at the interacting area, it is possible to obtain different types of HRWs. The value $λ_0$ is a zero point of the eigenfunction of the Lax pair of the NLS equation and it corresponds to the limit of the period of the breather tending to infinity. By employing this mechanism we prove two conjectures r…
The rogue waves in a resonant erbium-doped fibre system governed by a coupled system of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the Maxwell-Bloch equation (NLS-MB equations) are given explicitly by a Taylor series expansion about the breather solutions of the normalized slowly varying amplitude of the complex field envelope $E$, polarization $p$ and population inversion $η$. The n-order breather solutions of the three fields are constructed using Darboux transformation (DT) by assuming periodic seed solutions. What is more, the n-order rogue waves are given by determinant forms with $n+3$ free …
The Darboux transformation (DT) for the coupled complex short pulse (CCSP) equation is constructed through the loop group method. The DT is then utilized to construct various exact solutions including bright soliton, dark-soliton, breather and rogue wave solutions to the CCSP equation. In case of vanishing boundary condition (VBC), we perform the inverse scattering analysis to understand the soliton solution better. Breather and rogue wave solutions are constructed in case of non-vanishing boundary condition (NVBC). Moreover, we conduct a modulational instability (MI) analysis based on the met…
The Peregrine breather is widely discussed as a model for rogue waves in deep water. We present here a detailed numerical study of perturbations of the Peregrine breather as a solution to the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations. We first address the modulational instability of the constant modulus solution to NLS. Then we study numerically localized and nonlocalized perturbations of the Peregrine breather in the linear and fully nonlinear setting. It is shown that the solution is unstable against all considered perturbations.

In this paper, by considering the potential application in two mode nonlinear waves in nonlinear fibers under a certain case, we define a coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation(called Frobenius NLS equation) including its Lax pair. Afterwards, we construct the Darboux transformations of the Frobenius NLS equation. New solutions can be obtained from known seed solutions by the Dardoux transformations. Soliton solutions are generated from trivial seed solutions. Also we derive breather solutions $q,r$ of the Frobenius NLS equation obtained from periodic seed solutions. Interesting enough, we fin…
We mainly investigate a coupled system of the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the Maxwell-Bloch equations which describes the wave propagation in an erbium-doped nonlinear fiber with higher-order effects including the forth-order dispersion and quintic non-Kerr nonlinearity. We derive the one-fold Darbox transformation of this system and construct the determinant representation of the $n$-fold Darboux transformation. Then the determinant representation of the $n$th new solutions $(E^{[n]},\, p^{[n]},\, η^{[n]})$ which were generated from the known seed solutions $(E, \, p, \, η)…
Rogue waves on the periodic background are considered for the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation in the focusing case. The two periodic wave solutions are expressed by the Jacobian elliptic functions dn and cn. Both periodic waves are modulationally unstable with respect to long-wave perturbations. Exact solutions for the rogue waves on the periodic background are constructed by using the explicit expressions for the periodic eigenfunctions of the Zakharov-Shabat spectral problem and the Darboux transformations. These exact solutions labeled as rogue periodic waves generalize the classical r…
Considering certain terms of the next asymptotic order beyond the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) equation, the Fokas-Lenells (FL) equation governed by the FL system arise as a model for nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers. The expressions of the q[n] and r[n] in the FL system are generated by n-fold Darboux transformation (DT). Further, a Taylor series expansion about the n-order breather solutions q[n] generated using DT by assuming periodic seed solutions under reduction can generate the n-order rogue waves of the FL equation explicitly with 2n+3 free parameters.
We study the dynamics of superposed nonlinear waves in coherently coupled Gross-Pitaevskii (CCGP) equations with constant (autonomous system) and time varying (non-autonomous system) nonlinearity co-efficients. By employing a linear transformation, the autonomous CCGP system is converted into two separate scalar nonlinear Schrödinger equations and we show that linear superposition of different nonlinear wave solutions of these scalar equations results into several kinds of nonlinear coherent structures namely, coexisting rogue wave-Ma breather, Akhmediev-Ma breathers, collision and bound state…
In this paper, the partially party-time ($PT$) symmetric nonlocal Davey-Stewartson (DS) equations with respect to $x$ is called $x$-nonlocal DS equations, while a fully $PT$ symmetric nonlocal DSII equation is called nonlocal DSII equation. Three kinds of solutions, namely breather, rational and semi-rational solutions for these nonlocal DS equations are derived by employing the bilinear method. For the $x$-nonlocal DS equations, the usual ($2+1$)-dimensional breathers are periodic in $x$ direction and localized in $y$ direction. Nonsingular rational solutions are lumps, and semi-rational solu…
This paper focuses on the modulation instability, conservation laws and localized wave solutions of the generalized coupled Fokas-Lenells equation. Based on the theory of linear stability analysis, distribution pattern of modulation instability gain G in the (K,k) frequency plane is depicted, and the constraints for the existence of rogue waves are derived. Subsequently, we construct the infinitely many conservation laws for the generalized coupled Fokas-Lenells equation from the Riccati-type formulas of the Lax pair. In addition, the compact determinant expressions of the N-order localized wa…
We analyze vector localized solutions of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with variable nonlinearity parameter and external trap potential through similarity transformation technique which transforms the two coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations into a pair of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with constant coefficients under a specific integrability condition. In this analysis we consider three different types of external trap potentials: a time-independent trap, a time-dependent monotonic trap, and a time-dependent periodic trap. We point out the existence of different inter…
In this paper the coupled Maxwell-Bloch equations which describe the propagation of two optical pulses in an optical medium with coherent three-level atoms are studied by Darboux transformation. The general nth-order rogue wave solution involving two different choices of multiple roots for the spectral characteristic equation and the multiparametric nth-order semirational solution are both obtained in terms of Schur polynomials. The explicit rogue wave solutions and semirational solutions from first to second order are provided. In contrast to the known Peregrine soliton, dark and four-petaled…
The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) stands out as the dispersive nonlinear partial differential equation that plays a prominent role in the modeling and understanding of the wave phenomena relevant to many fields of nonlinear physics. The question of random input problems in the one-dimensional and integrable NLSE enters within the framework of integrable turbulence, and the specific question of the formation of rogue waves (RWs) has been recently extensively studied in this context. The determination of exact analytic solutions of the focusing 1D-NLSE prototyping RW events of statistica…
The Fokas-Lenells (FL) equation arises as a model eqution which describes for nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers by retaining terms up to the next leading asymptotic order (in the leading asymptotic order the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation results). Here we present an explicit analytical representation for the rogue waves of the FL equation. This representation is constructed by deriving an appropriate Darboux transformation (DT) and utilizing a Taylor series expansion of the associated breather solution. when certain higher-order nonlinear effects are considered, the propagat…
In this article we present a new method for construction of exact solutions of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLG) for ferromagnetic nanowires. The method is based on the established relationship between the LLG and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS), and is aimed at resolving an old problem: how to produce multiple-rogue wave solutions of NLS using just the Darboux-type transformations. The solutions of this type - known as P-breathers - have been proven to exist by Dubard and Matveev, but their technique heavily relied on using the solutions of yet another nonlinear equation, Ka…
Within the (2 + 1)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries equation framework, new bilinear Backlund transformation and Lax pair are presented based on the binary Bell polynomials and gauge transformation. By introducing an arbitrary function, a family of deformed soliton and deformed breather solutions are presented with the improved Hirotas bilinear method. Choosing the appropriate parameters, their interesting dynamic behaviors are shown in three-dimensional plots. Furthermore, novel rational solutions are generated by taking the limit of obtained solitons. Additionally, two dimensional [2D] rogue wa…
In this paper, the PT -symmetric version of the Maccari system is introduced, which can be regarded as a two-dimensional generalization of the defocusing nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Various exact solutions of the nonlocal Maccari system are obtained by means of the Hirota bilinear method, long-wave limit, and Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy method. Bilinear forms of the nonlocal Maccari system are derived for the first time. Simultaneously, a new nonlocal Davey-Stewartson-type equation is derived. Solutions for breathers and breathers on top of periodic line waves are obtai…
The Yajima-Oikawa (YO) system describes the resonant interaction between long and short waves under certain condition. In this paper, through the KP hierarchy reduction, we construct the breather solutions for the YO system in one- and two-dimensional cases. Similar to Akhmediev and Kuznetsov-Ma breather solutions (the wavenumber k_i->ik_i) for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, is shown that the YO system have two kinds ofbreather solutions with the relations p_{2k-1}->ip_{2k-1}, p_{2k}->-ip_{2k}, q_{2k-1}->iq_{2k-1} and q_{2k}->-iq_{2k}, in which the homoclinic orbit and dark soliton soluti…
In this work, inverse scattering transform for the sixth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with both zero and nonzero boundary conditions at infinity is given, respectively. For the case of zero nonzero boundary conditions, in terms of the Laurent's series and generalization of the residue theorem, the bound-state soliton is derived. For nonzero boundary conditions, using the robust inverse scattering transform, we present a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem of the sixth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Then based on the obtained Riemann-Hilbert problem, the rogue wave and breather wave s…
Solitons on a finite a background, also called breathers, are solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which play a pivotal role in the description of rogue waves and modulation instability. The breather family includes Akhmediev breathers (AB), Kuznetsov-Ma (KM), and Peregrine solitons (PS), which have been successfully exploited to describe several physical effects. These families of solutions are actually only particular cases of a more general three-parameter class of solutions originally derived by Akhmediev, Eleonskii and Kulagin [Theor. Math. Phys. {\bf 72}, 809--818 (1…
