Abstract
In this paper, the Darboux transformation of the Kundu–nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived and generalized to the matrix of n-fold Darboux transformation. From known solution Q, the determinant representation of n-th new solutions of Q[n] are obtained by the n-fold Darboux transformation. Then soliton solutions and positon solutions are generated from trivial seed solutions, breather solutions and rogue wave solutions that are obtained from periodic seed solutions. After that, the higher order rogue wave solutions of the Kundu–nonlinear Schrödinger equation are given. We show that free parameters in eigenfunctions can adjust the patterns of the higher order rogue waves. Meanwhile, the third-order rogue waves are given explicitly.
