TLDR
In this paper, the authors provide a new perspective on the nonlinear wave dynamics for this problem in the particular case of unidirectional wave propagation, based upon the well-known nonlinear Schroedinger equation that governs the space/time dynamics of narrow banded, deep-water wave trains to leading order in cubic nonlinearity.

Extreme waves that appear from nowhere: On the nature of rogue waves

TL;DR: In this article, a plane wave is modulated by relatively weak random waves, and it is shown that the peaks with highest amplitude of the resulting wave composition can be described in terms of exact solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schrrodinger equation in the form of the collision of Akhmediev breathers.

How to excite a rogue wave

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose initial conditions that facilitate the excitation of rogue waves, which is useful both in attempts to avoid them by seafarers and in generating highly energetic pulses in optical fibers.

Are rogue waves robust against perturbations

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of various perturbations on the fundamental rational solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) was studied, and it was shown that the rational solution remains rational and localized in each direction, thus representing a modified rogue wave.

Stability of periodic waves of finite amplitude on the surface of a deep fluid

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of steady nonlinear waves on the surface of an infinitely deep fluid with a free surface was studied. And the authors considered the problem of stability of surface waves as part of the more general problem of nonlinear wave in media with dispersion.
