Abstract Up to the third-order rogue wave solutions of the Sasa–Satsuma (SS) equation are derived based on the Hirota’s bilinear method and Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy reduction method. They are expressed explicitly by rational functions with both the numerator and denominator being the determinants of even order. Four types of intrinsic structures are recognized according to the number of zero-amplitude points. The first- and second-order rogue wave solutions agree with the solutions obtained so far by the Darboux transformation. In spite of the very complicated solution form compared with the ones of many other integrable equations, the third-order rogue waves exhibit two configurations: either a triangle or a distorted pentagon. Both the types and configurations of the third-order rogue waves are determined by different choices of free parameters. As the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is a limiting case of the SS equation, it is shown that the degeneration of the first-order rogue wave of the SS equation converges to the Peregrine soliton.

General rogue waves in the three-wave resonant interaction systems
Abstract General rogue waves in (1+1)-dimensional three-wave resonant interaction systems are derived by the bilinear method. These solutions are divided into three families, which correspond to a simple root, two simple roots and a double root of a certain quartic equation arising from the dimension reduction, respectively. It is shown that while the first family of solutions associated with a simple root exists for all signs of the nonlinear coefficients in the three-wave interaction equations, the other two families of solutions associated with two simple roots and a double root can only exist in the so-called soliton-exchange case, where the nonlinear coefficients have certain signs. Many of these rogue wave solutions, such as those associated with two simple roots, the ones generated by a $$2\times 2$$ block determinant in the double-root case, and higher-order solutions associated with a simple root, are new solutions which have not been reported before. Technically, our bilinear derivation of rogue waves for the double-root case is achieved by a generalization to the previous dimension reduction procedure in the bilinear method, and this generalized procedure allows us to treat roots of arbitrary multiplicities. Dynamics of the derived rogue waves is also examined, and new rogue wave patterns are presented. Connection between these bilinear rogue waves and those derived earlier by Darboux transformation is also explained.

Abstract We show that new types of rogue wave patterns exist in integrable systems, and these rogue patterns are described by root structures of Okamoto polynomial hierarchies. These rogue patterns arise when the τ functions of rogue wave solutions are determinants of Schur polynomials with index jumps of three, and an internal free parameter in these rogue waves gets large. We demonstrate these new rogue patterns in the Manakov system and the three‐wave resonant interaction system. For each system, we derive asymptotic predictions of its rogue patterns under a large internal parameter through Okamoto polynomial hierarchies. Unlike the previously reported rogue patterns associated with the Yablonskii–Vorob'ev hierarchy, a new feature in the present rogue patterns is that the mapping from the root structure of Okamoto‐hierarchy polynomials to the shape of the rogue pattern is linear only to the leading order, but becomes nonlinear to the next order. As a consequence, the current rogue patterns are often deformed, sometimes strongly deformed, from Okamoto‐hierarchy root structures, unless the underlying internal parameter is very large. Our analytical predictions of rogue patterns are compared to true solutions, and excellent agreement is observed, even when rogue patterns are strongly deformed from Okamoto‐hierarchy root structures.more » « less

We report new rogue wave patterns in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. These patterns include heart-shaped structures, fan-shaped sectors, and many others, that are formed by individual Peregrine waves. They appear when multiple internal parameters in the rogue wave solutions get large. Analytically, we show that these new patterns are described asymptotically by root structures of Adler–Moser polynomials through a dilation. Since Adler–Moser polynomials are generalizations of the Yablonskii–Vorob’ev polynomial hierarchy and contain free complex parameters, these new rogue patterns associated with Adler–Moser polynomials are much more diverse than previous rogue patterns associated with the Yablonskii–Vorob’ev polynomial hierarchy. We also compare analytical predictions of these patterns to true solutions and demonstrate good agreement between them.more » « less

General breather solution to the Sasa–Satsuma equation (SSE) is systematically investigated in this paper. We firstly transform the SSE into a set of three Hirota bilinear equations under a proper plane wave boundary condition. Starting from a specially arranged tau-function of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy and a set of 11 bilinear equations satisfied, we implement a series steps of reduction procedure, i.e. C-type reduction, dimension reduction and complex conjugate reduction, and reduce these 11 equations to three bilinear equations for the SSE. Meanwhile, the general breather solution to the SSE is found in determinant of even order. The one- and two-breather solutions are calculated and analysed in detail.more » « less

Rogue waves, which are defined as waves with a wave height, or alternatively a crest height, exceeding the significant wave height by a certain factor, continue to endanger ships and offshore infrastructure. Hence, reliable rogue wave forecasting is of utmost importance to increase the safety for maritime operations. While the occurrence of rogue waves is widely acknowledged, their emergence remains unpredictable due to the lack of a well-accepted basis for explaining their occurrence. In fact, two popular mechanisms explaining the formation of rogue waves lead to considerably different conclusions about their predictability. On the one hand, a rogue wave could be formed by a superposition of wave trains with unknown phases. With this generation mechanism, rogue wave prediction is not viable. On the other hand, nonlinear focusing leading to the Benjamin-Feir instability gives rise to slowly developing rogue waves. Hence, this rogue wave formation could be detected with significant advance time. Given this background, there is an imperative need to address the basic question: Are rogue waves predictable? In this article, the authors explore the predictability of rogue waves by constructing and parameterizing neural networks. The networks are trained on available buoy data, which allows not only for an assessment under the most realistic conditions but also for indicating the sufficiency of current ocean measurements for rogue wave prediction.more » « less
