On the characterization of breather and rogue wave solutions and   modulation instability of a coupled generalized nonlinear Schr\"odinger   equations
  We construct Darboux transformation of a coupled generalized nonlinear Schr\"odinger (CGNLS) equations and obtain exact analytic expressions of breather and rogue wave solutions. We also formulate the conditions for isolating these solutions. We show that the rogue wave solution can be found only when the four wave mixing parameter becomes real. We also investigate the modulation instability of the steady state solution of CGNLS system and demonstrate that it can occur only when the four wave mixing parameter becomes real. Our results give an evidence for the connection between the occurrence of rogue wave solution and the modulation instability.
