Rogue wave patterns associated with Adler--Moser polynomials featuring multiple roots in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Abstract: In this work, we analyze the asymptotic behaviors of high-order rogue wave solutions with multiple large parameters and discover novel rogue wave patterns, including claw-like, OTR-type, TTR-type, semi-modified TTR-type, and their modified patterns. A correlation is established between these rogue wave patterns and the root structures of the Adler--Moser polynomials with multiple roots. At the positions in the $(x,t)$-plane corresponding to single roots of the Adler--Moser polynomials, these high-order rogue wave patterns asymptotically approach first-order rogue waves. At the positions in the $(x,t)$-plane corresponding to multiple roots of the Adler--Moser polynomials, these rogue wave patterns asymptotically tend toward lower-order fundamental rogue waves, dispersed first-order rogue waves, or mixed structures of these rogue waves. These structures are related to the root structures of special Adler--Moser polynomials with new free parameters, such as the Yablonskii--Vorob'ev polynomial hierarchy, among others. Notably, the positions of the fundamental lower-order rogue waves or mixed structures in these rogue wave patterns can be controlled freely under specific conditions.
