    Abstract

    We present the first four exact rational solutions of the set of rational solutions of the modified Korteweg–de Vries equation. These solutions can be considered as rogue waves of the corresponding equation. Comparison with rogue wave solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation shows a strong analogy between their characteristics, especially for amplitude-to-background ratio. The new solutions may be useful in the theory of rogue waves in shallow water and for light propagation in cubic nonlinear media involving only a few optical cycles.
