Generalized Darboux transformation and higher-order rogue wave solutions to the Manakov system

Abstract: In this paper, we construct a generalized recursive Darboux transformation of a focusing vector nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation known as the Manakov system. We apply this generalized recursive Darboux transformation to the Lax-pairs of this system in view of generating the Nth-order vector generalization rogue wave solutions with the same spectral parameter through a direct iteration rule. As a result, we discuss the first, second and third-order vector generalization rogue wave solutions while illustrating these features with some depictions. We show that higher-order rogue wave solutions depend on the values of their free parameters.
