N-solitons, breathers and rogue waves for a generalized Boussinesq equation.

A particular attention is paid on a generalized nonlinear Boussinesq equation which can be used to describe the wave dynamics in fluids. Via symbolic computation method, analytical N-soliton solutions, three types of breather solutions (namely, Kuznetsov-Ma, Akhmediev and generalized breather solutions), and rogue wave solutions are obtained. The extreme points of rogue waves are analyzed in detail. Furthermore, a type of novel X-like soliton is observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
