Abstract

We study the elasticity of the collision of two kinks with an incoming low speed v(0,1)v\in (0,1) for the nonlinear wave equation in dimension 1+11+1 known as the ϕ6\phi^{6} model. We prove for any kNk\in\mathbb{N} that if the incoming speed vv is small enough, then, after the collision, the two kinks will move away with a velocity vfv_{f} such that vfvvk\vert v_{f}-v\vert\leq v^{k} and the energy of the remainder will also be smaller than vk.v^{k}. This manuscript is the continuation of our previous paper where we constructed a sequence ϕk\phi_{k} of approximate solutions for the ϕ6\phi^{6} model. The proof of our main result relies on the use of the set of approximate solutions from our previous work, modulation analysis, and a refined energy estimate method to evaluate the precision of our approximate solutions during a large time interval.
