Extended generalized Darboux transformation to hybrid rogue wave and breather solutions for a nonlinear Schrodinger equation

An extended generalized Darboux transformation method is proposed to construct the hybrid rogue wave and breather solutions for a classical nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Three types of hybrid wave solutions are obtained: (i) the hybrid first-order rogue wave and breather; (ii) the hybrid second-order rogue wave and first-order breather; (iii) the hybrid first-order rogue wave and second-order breather. These solutions are novel and can be used to investigate the dynamical characteristic of the hybrid rogue waves and breathers. The control and interaction based on the parameters of the hybrid wave solution are graphically demonstrated. An exact link is established between the hybrid solutions and the rogue wave solutions via setting the parameter at special value. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
