Chaos. 2018 May;28(5):053104. doi: 10.1063/1.5019754.

Abstract

A study of rogue-wave solutions in the reverse-time nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) and nonlocal Davey-Stewartson (DS) equations is presented. By using Darboux transformation (DT) method, several types of rogue-wave solutions are constructed. Dynamics of these rogue-wave solutions are further explored. It is shown that the (1 + 1)-dimensional fundamental rogue-wave solutions in the reverse-time NLS equation can be globally bounded or have finite-time blowing-ups. It is also shown that the (2 + 1)-dimensional line rogue waves in the reverse-time nonlocal DS equations can be bounded for all space and time or develop singularities in critical time. In addition, the multi- and higher-order rogue waves exhibit richer structures, most of which have no counterparts in the corresponding local nonlinear equations.
