We explore the form of rogue waves solution sin a select set of case examples of non linear Schrodinger equations with variable coefficients. We focus on systems with constant dispersion, and present three different models that describe atomic Bose Einstein condensates in different experimentally relevant settings. For these models, we identify exact rogue waves solutions. Our analytical findings are corroborated by direct numerical integration of the original equations, performed by two different schemes. Very good agreement between numerical results and analytical predictions for the emergence of the rogue waves is identified. Additionally, the nontrivial fate of small numerically induced perturbations …
