Abstract

Rogue waves describe a phenomenon which was first observed in hydrodynamics, but whose denomination has been extended to many domains, from biology to optics as far as to finance. The particularity of rogue waves is to describe events with a tremendous characteristic (the height of the swell, the price of a market share, optical bursts...) occurring more often than they should. Another particularity of rogue waves is that they are unpredictable and for this reason, they are potentially hazardous. Consequently, they have been initially called rogue or freak waves because they were feared by sailors even if they were not officially reported and analyzed before the 20th century. Since then, rogue waves have raised interest because the analysis tools can be applied whatever the field of study. All that matters is to define, in each context, the quantity to compare to the threshold value.
