State Transition Induced by Higher-order Effects and Background   Frequency
  State transition between the Peregrine rogue wave and w-shaped traveling wave induced by higher-order effects and background frequency is studied. We find that this intriguing transition, described by an exact explicit rational solution, is consistent with the modulation instability (MI) analysis that involves MI region and stability region in low perturbation frequency region. In particular, the link between the MI growth rate and transition characteristic analytically demonstrates that, the size characteristic of transition is positively associated with the reciprocal of zero-frequency growth rate. Further, we investigate the case for nonlinear interplay of multi-localized waves. It is interesting that the interaction of second-order waves in stability region features a line structure, rather than an elastic interaction between two w-shaped traveling waves.
