Rogue wave solutions of (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation by a direct limit method

On the bases of N-soliton solutions of Hirota’s bilinear method,high-order rogue wave solutions can be derived by a direct limit method.In this paper,a(3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation is taken to illustrate the process of obtaining rogue waves,that is,based on the long-wave limit method,rogue wave solutions are generated by reconstructing the phase parameters of N-solitons.Besides the fundamental pattern of rogue waves,the triangle or pentagon patterns are also obtained.Moreover,the different patterns of these solutions are determined by newly introduced parameters.In the end,the general form of N-order rogue wave solutions are proposed.
