A high-order rogue wave generated by collision in three-component Bose–Einstein condensates

The generation of high-order rogue waves (RWs) without the exact solution is an intriguing subject that has not yet been fully explored, especially for the third-order RWs. In this paper, we investigate the collision dynamics in a three-component Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), and propose a scheme capable of generating such high-order RWs, such as second- and third-order RWs. The results show that the peaks of the three first-order RWs coincide in time and space when the third-order RWs are excited during the collision. Furthermore, by controlling the offsets of initial wavepackets and intraspecific interaction coefficients within the BEC, the collision behavior of RWs can be precisely manipulated. Compared to two-component BECs, these three-component collisions exhibit more diverse structures for exciting RW phenomena.
