Rogue and Shock Waves in Nonlinear Dispersive Media

Rogue and Shock Waves in Nonlinear Dispersive Media edited by Miguel Onorato, Stefania Resitori, Fabio Baronio.

This self-contained set of lectures addresses a gap in the literature by providing a systematic link between the theoretical foundations of the subject matter and cutting-edge applications in both geophysical fluid dynamics and nonlinear optics. Rogue and shock waves are phenomena that may occur in...
