Rational breather waves in a nonlinear vibration system

Abstract

A nonlinear vibration system behaviors always periodically; however, sometimes a vibrating structure, e.g. an empty oil tank, will be collapsed suddenly. This can be explained as a kind of rogue waves. This paper gives a general approach to search for rational breather waves to nonlinear equations including nonlinear vibration systems and dispersive wave systems. A breather type of rogue wave solution which contains two peaks whose amplitudes are two to three times higher than its surrounding waves and generally forms in a short time is constructed. Moreover, by using three-wave method, new breather-type multisolitary coherent structures are presented, the fusion interactions of localized structures are discussed and graphically investigated, showing some novel features and interesting behaviors.
