Rogue wave solutions of a higher-order Chen–Lee–Liu equation

We consider a next-higher-order extension of the Chen–Lee–Liu equation, i.e., a higher-order Chen–Lee–Liu (HOCLL) equation with third-order dispersion and quintic nonlinearity terms. We construct the n-fold Darboux transformation (DT) of the HOCLL equation in terms of the n × n determinants. Comparing this with the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, the determinant representation Tn of this equation is involved with the complicated integrals, although we eliminate these integrals in the final form of the DT, so that the DT of the HOCLL equation is unusual. We provide explicit expressions of multi-rogue wave (RW) solutions for the HOCLL equation. It is concluded that the rogue wave solutions are likely to be crucial when considering higher-order nonlinear effects.
