Abstract
We recalculate the force exerted by an antikink on a kink when their overlapping tail fields are close to either a quadratic or quartic minimum of the field theory potential. Our uniform method of calculation exploits the modified Bogomolny equation satisfied by an accelerating kink. This method has been used before in special cases, but is shown here to have broad applicability.
