Very recently, a mechanism to the formation of rogue waves (RWs) has been proposed by the authors. In this paper, the formation of RWs in case of the complex Sharma–Tasso–Olver (STO) equation is studied. In the STO equation, one, two and three-soliton solutions are obtained. Due to the inelastic collisions, these soliton waves are fused to one. Under the free parameters constraint this behavior do occurs. The mechanism of formation of RWs is due to the collisions of solitons and multi-periodic waves (like spectral band). These RWs as giant waves, which may be very sharp or chaotic are similar to RWs in laser. The work is done here by using the generalized unified method (GUM).
