Abstract

Rogue waves are anomalously large amplitude phenomena developing suddenly out of normal waves, living for a short time and appearing with a probability much larger than expected from ordinary wave-amplitude statistics. These extreme events have been originally observed in ocean surfaces [1] and, later on, were observed in other physical contexts, like acoustic [2] and optical dynamics [3].
