Breather formation and its dynamics
Breathers are oscillating localised wave (modes) in many different physical systems. They are new research direction in nonlinear physics, where the physics has not be well-revealed. Breathers are known in optics, hydrodynamics, Bose-Einstein condensates, micromechanical arrays, and in the cavity optomechanics. They provide a basis for more complicated formations—nonlinear superpositions of breathers that appear in many nonlinear phenomena of physical importance such as rogue wave events, breather
molecules, chess-board-like patterns, turbulence, higher-order modulation instability, and the MI where small periodic modulation is additionally localised in transverse direction, i.e., the super-regular breathers.
