Approximation of rogue waves using Malmquist-Takenaka functions
<|reference_start|>Approximation of rogue waves using Malmquist-Takenaka functions: Rogue waves are fascinating large amplitude coherent structures that abruptly appear and then disappear soon after. In certain partial differential equations these waves are modeled by rational solutions. In this work we discuss approximating rogue wave solutions in a basis of orthogonal functions known as the Malmquist-Takenaka (MT) functions. This family of rational functions can be directly mapped to a modified Fourier series, allowing the fast Fourier transform computation of the spectral MT coefficients. Spectral differentiation matrices are derived. The approximation of the various rogue wave solutions in the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation is explored. The unstable nature of the NLS equation on a constant background and its effect on destabilizing and generating rogue waves is studied. Perturbing the constant solution with certain localized functions is found to generate rogue wave-like structures.<|reference_end|>
