Rogue wave solutions over double-periodic wave background of a fifth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with quintic terms

Abstract

Studies on rogue waves (RWs) over constant and periodic wave background are of contemporary interest in several areas of physics. These RWs arise not only on such backgrounds but also appear on double-periodic wave background. In this paper, we derive RW solutions over a double-periodic wave background of a fifth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We create the double-periodic wave background with elliptic functions (in combinations of cn, sn and dn) as seed solutions in the first iteration of Darboux transformation. We then calculate the growth rate of instability for these double-periodic solutions under different values of elliptic modulus parameter. On the top of these background waves, we generate RWs with the help of second independent solution to the eigenvalue problem. Further, we analyze the differences that occur in the appearance of RWs with reference to the lower-order and higher-order dispersions terms. In addition to the above, we examine the derived solutions in detail for certain system and elliptic modulus parameter values and highlight some interesting features that we obtain from our studies.
