Rogue waves and their patterns for the coupled Fokas-Lenells equations

Abstract

In this work, we explore the rogue wave patterns in the coupled Fokas-Lenells equation by using the Darboux transformation. We demonstrate that when one of the internal parameters is large enough, the general high-order rogue wave solutions generated at a branch point of multiplicity three can be decomposed into some first-order outer rogue waves and a lower-order inner rogue wave. Remarkably, the positions and the orders of these outer and inner rogue waves are intimately related to Okamoto polynomial hierarchies.
