Abstract
In this paper we construct a particularly important solution to the focusing NLS equation, namely a Peregrine breather of the rank 10 which we call, P10 breather. The related explicit formula is given by the ratio of two polynomials of degree 110 with integer coefficients times trivial exponential factor. This formula drastically simplifies for the “initial values” namely for t=0 or x=0. This formula confirms a general conjecture saying that between all quasi-rational solutions of the rank N fixed by the condition that its absolute value tends to 1 at infinity and its highest maximum is located at the point (x=0,t=0), the PN breather is distinguished by the fact that PN(0,0)=2N+1 and, in the aforementioned class of quasi-rational solutions, it is an absolute maximum. At the end we also make a few remarks concerning the rational deformations of P10 breather involving 2N−2 free real parameters chosen in a way that PN breather itself corresponds to the zero values of these parameters although we have no intention to discuss the properties of these deformations here.
