Higher-order rogue waves with controllable fission and asymmetry localized in a (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized Boussinesq equation

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to report the feasibility of constructing high-order rogue waves with controllable fission and asymmetry for high-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations. Such a nonlinear model considered in this paper as the concrete example is the (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized Boussinesq (gB) equation, and the corresponding method is Zhaqilao’s symbolic computation approach containing two embedded parameters. It is indicated by the (3 + 1)-dimensional gB equation that the embedded parameters can not only control the center of the first-order rogue wave, but also control the number of the wave peaks split from higher-order rogue waves and the asymmetry of higher-order rogue waves about the coordinate axes. The main novelty of this paper is that the obtained results and findings can provide useful supplements to the method used and the controllability of higher-order rogue waves.
