Rogue curves in the Davey-Stewartson I equation

Abstract:
We report new rogue wave patterns whose wave crests form closed or open curves in the spatial plane, which we call rogue curves, in the Davey-Stewartson I equation. These rogue curves come in various striking shapes, such as rings, double rings, and many others. They emerge from a uniform background (possibly with a few lumps on it), reach high amplitude in such striking shapes, and then disappear into the same background again. We reveal that these rogue curves would arise when an internal parameter in bilinear expressions of the rogue waves is real and large. Analytically, we show that these rogue curves are predicted by root curves of certain types of double-real-variable polynomials. We compare analytical predictions of rogue curves to true solutions and demonstrate good agreement between them.
