Zusammenfassung

Extreme ocean gravity waves are a mysterious phenomenon of giant waves appearing in the deep ocean seemingly from nowhere. They tend to disappear without a trace just the way they appeared. Their existence in the world ocean is a well established fact but present understanding is poor. One of the theories that may explain these extreme waves is based on breather solutions of nonlinear wave equations. Generation of breathers and their combinations can be a reason for the formation of extreme waves. Thus, modeling of such solutions may lead to understanding the nature of this phenomenon....
