In this paper, we investigate the vector multi-rogue waves for the three-coupled fourth-order nonlinear Schr¨ odinger equations, which describe the dynamics of an alpha helical protein with the nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions and interspine coupling. Via the Darboux-dressing transformation, the vector multi-rogue-wave solutions are derived. Based on such solutions, we present the single vector rogue wave, vector rogue wave pair and triple vector rogue wave graphically. We show that a fourpetaled rogue wave with two humps and two valleys appears in two components, while the other component has an eye-shaped rogue wave. Existing time of the rogue wave decreases with the strength of higher-order linear and nonlinear effects. We also obtain the separated and interacting vector rogue wave pairs, as well as the triple vector rogue waves. Moreover, we verify the baseband modulation instability through the linear stability analysis.

The scalar nonlinear Schr¨odinger (NLS)-type equations have been used to model the nonlinear dynamics of such fields as molecular biology, nonlinear optics, oceanography, BoseEinstein condensation and plasmas physics [1–7]. Rogue-wave solutions for the scalar NLS equation have been expressed in the rational form [8]. It has been found that the rogue waves occur and disappear unpredictably [9], and can be generated by the modulation instability (MI) for the NLS equation [10]. The scalar NLS equation has been shown to admit the eye-shaped rogue wave, which has one hump and two valleys [11]. For the resonant interaction processes in molecular biology, nonlinear optics, etc., multiple waves have been investigated [12, 13]. Coupled NLS equations, which have the vector rogue waves including the anti-eye-shaped rogue waves and four-petaled rogue waves, have been proposed [12–15]. In the field of molecular biology, it has been found that the bio-energy through the protein molecules is released by the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the energy from the ATP can be stored in the C=O vibration (amide-I) of a peptide group (H-N-C=O) of a protein and transported in an alpha helical protein [16–19]. Bio-energy has been thought to be disorganized rapidly due to the dispersion effect caused by the resonant interaction of intra peptide dipole vibrations (amide-I) [20]. Nonlinear effect, generated by the interaction of those vibrations with the local displacements of equilibrium positions of the peptide groups (H-N-C=O), has been proved to provide a potential well [21–23]. Solitons in the protein molecules, arisen as a result of the balance between the dispersion and nonlinear effects, have been found to appear as the stable carriers capable of transferring the bio-energy without any losses [18, 23]. Soliton dynamics of a single chain with one exciton band and one phonon mode corresponding to one atom per peptide group (H-N-C=O) of the protein chain has been investigated [24–27]. In reality, an alpha helical protein structure has been thought to consist of the peptide groups (H-N-C=O), which is connected by three quasilinear strands of hydrogen bonds [18, 28, 29]. For the molecular dynamics along the hydrogen bonding spine in the alpha helical protein, the coupled Hirota equations containing the third-order dispersion, self-steepening and decayed nonlinear response have been claimed to be more precise than the coupled NLS equations [30, 31]. To describe the bio-energy transfer along the hydrogen bonding spine in the alpha helical protein with their right and left nearest-neighbor interactions, researchers have considered the three coupled Hirota equations [19, 22, 23, 32]. Studying the dynamics of an alpha helical protein with the nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions and interspine coupling, people have investigated the following three-coupled fourth-order NLS

For Eqs. (1), multi-soliton solutions have been derived via the Darboux transformation (DT) [18]; bilinear forms and multi-soliton solutions have been obtained via the binary Bell-polynomial approach [32]; semirational rogue waves have been reported via the generalized DT [33]. However, to our knowledge, vector multi-rogue waves for Eqs. (1) have not been presented. In Section 2, vector multi-rogue-wave solutions for Eqs. (1) will be constructed via the Darboux-dressing transformation (DDT). In Section 3, three types of the vector multirogue waves will be discussed. Through the linear stability analysis, the M I for Eqs. (1) will be investigated in Section 4. Section 5 will be our conclusions. 2. Vector multi-rogue-wave solutions for Eqs. (1)

√ √ When ζ3 = −iζ1 − i 2ζ2 and ζ4 = − 2ζ1 − ζ2 , the dominators and numerators of Solutions (10) are both the polynomials of the second degree with respect to x and t, which generate the single vector rogue wave, as shown in Figs. 1. In the q1 and q3 components, a four-petaled rogue wave with two humps and two valleys appears, as shown in Figs. 1(a) and 1(c), while in the q2 component, an eye-shaped rogue wave with one hump and two valleys can be observed in Fig. 1(b). According to Solutions (10), when the maximum or minimum value of q1 appears, the minimum or maximum value of q3 occurs, which can be seen from the comparison between Figs. 1(a) and 1(c), i.e., the humps or valleys in the q1 component correspond to the valleys or humps in the q3 component. When we decrease the value of the strength of higher-order linear and nonlinear effects, γ, range of the rogue wave along the t axis increases, which means that the existing time of the rogue wave increases, as seen in Figs. 2. 3.0

case, there are two vector rogue waves in each component, as shown in Figs. 3 − 5. In Figs. 3, we show the separated vector rogue wave pair, where the two vector rogue waves of the vector rogue wave pair are separated and appear at almost the same time. As seen in Figs. 3(a) and 3(c), the q1 and q3 components have the similar structures: An eye-shaped rogue wave coexists with a four-petaled rogue wave, and the humps or valleys of the four-petaled rogue wave in the q1 component correspond to the valleys or humps of the four-petaled rogue wave in the q3 component. Fig. 3(b) displays the two eye-shaped rogue waves with different amplitudes in the q2 component. When ζ3 = −1, we can observe the interacting vector rogue wave pair, the two vector rogue waves of which interact with each other and merge together, as seen in Figs. 4. When |ζ3 |  0, we can obtain two vector rogue waves with three different structures, as seen in Figs. 5: Fig. 5(a) exhibits a four-petaled rogue wave and an anti-eye-shaped rogue wave with two humps and a valley in the q1 component; Shown in Fig. 5(b) is that the q2 component has two eye-shaped rogue waves; Fig. 5(c) depicts an eye-shaped rogue wave and a four-petaled rogue wave. Two vector rogue waves in Figs. 5 emerge at the different values of t and are separated. Here, the vector rogue wave pair can also be thought as the so-called separated vector rogue wave pair. 2.5

In such case, we can obtain the triple vector rogue wave, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. Figs. 6 depict the three vector rogue waves with ζ3 = −i: In the q1 component, a four-petaled rogue wave emerges first, then an eye-shaped rogue wave and a four-petaled rogue wave appear at almost the same time, as seen in Fig. 6(a); In the q2 component, as shown in Fig. 6(b), a four-petaled rogue wave takes place first, and then the two eye-shaped rogue waves with the different amplitudes occur; As seen in Fig. 6(c), in the q3 component, an eye-shaped rogue wave occurs first, then a four-petaled and an anti-eye-shaped rogue wave appear. Triple vector rogue wave in Figs. 6 consists of three separated vector rogue waves, which can be considered as the separated triple vector rogue wave. Figs. 7 display the interacting triple vector rogue wave, the three vector rogue waves of which interact with each other and merge together. In the q1 and q3 components, two four-petaled rogue waves coexist with an eye-shaped rogue wave, as shown in Figs. 7(a) and 7(c). Triple vector rogue wave looks like a type of the second-order rogue wave with three single rogue wave [36, 37]. However, the distribution structures of the triple vector rogue wave obtained in this paper are different from the second-order rogue wave with three single rogue waves, because the three single rogue waves of the the triple vector rogue wave have different shapes. 3

Solving the characteristic equation of the coefficient matrix M , we can achieve six roots as follows: q  Γ1 = k 2a21 − k 2 γk 2 − 11a21 γ − 1 , (15a) q  Γ2 = −k 2a21 − k 2 γk 2 − 11a21 γ − 1 , (15b) q √ (15c) Γ3 = Γ21,2 + 2a21 γk 4 (46a21 γ − 5γk 2 + 4) − 2 2Λ, q √ Γ4 = − Γ21,2 + 2a21 γk 4 (46a21 γ − 5γk 2 + 4) − 2 2Λ, (15d) q √ Γ5 = Γ21,2 + 2a21 γk 4 (46a21 γ − 5γk 2 + 4) + 2 2Λ, (15e) q √ Γ6 = − Γ21,2 + 2a21 γk 4 (46a21 γ − 5γk 2 + 4) + 2 2Λ, (15f) with

In conclusion, investigation has been made on the three-coupled fourth-order nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations, i.e., Eqs. (1), which describe the dynamics of an alpha helical protein with nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions and interspine coupling. Via DDT (3), the vector multi-rogue-wave solutions for Eqs. (1). i.e., Solutions (10), have been derived. Based on Solutions (10), single vector rogue wave, vector rogue wave pair and triple vector rogue wave have been presented graphically: Figs. 1 have shown the single vector rogue wave: In the q1 and q3 components, a fourpetaled rogue wave with two humps and two valleys appears, while in the q2 component, an eye-shaped rogue wave with one hump and two valleys can be observed. Decreasing the value of the strength of higher-order linear and nonlinear effects, γ, we have observed that the range of the rogue wave along the t axis increases, which means that the existing time of the rogue wave increases, as shown in Figs. 2. In Figs. 3, we have shown the separated vector rogue wave pair, the two vector rogue waves of which are separated and appear at almost the same time. We have observed the interacting vector rogue wave pair, the two vector rogue waves of which interact with each other and merge together, as seen in Figs. 4. In Figs. 5, we have observed the separated vector rogue wave pair, where the two vector rogue waves emerge at the different values of t. Figs. 6 have depicted the separated triple vector rogue wave which consists of three separated vector rogue waves. Figs. 7 have displayed the interacting triple vector rogue wave, the three vector rogue waves of which interact with each other and merge together. Appendix A
