Stokes waves%breaking criterion%breaking width%singularity
In this paper, the fact is revealed that the surface elevation of the third order Stokes waves in implicit form could have no solution or have simultaneously a trivial one and a singular one on certain conditions. Based on this fact, the relative breaking width, a more reasonable quantity in agreement with the definition of whitecapping coverage rate, is obtained directly from the assumption that no solution means breaking. The implications of the singular solution existing in the third order stokes waves are also discussed briefly.
