On Benjamin-Feir instability and evolution of a nonlinear wave with finite-amplitude sidebands
In the past decade it became customary to relate the probability of appearance of extremely steep (the so-called freak, or rogue waves) to the value of the Benjamin-Feir Index (BFI) that represents the ratio of wave nonlinearity to the spectral width. This ratio appears naturally in the cubic Schröd...
