This work studies the dynamics of solutions to the sine-Gordon equation posed on a tadpole graph $G$ and endowed with boundary conditions at the vertex of $\delta$-type. The latter generalize conditions of Neumann-Kirchhoff type. The…
On a two-dimensional planar parity-time-($\mathcal{PT}$-)symmetric nonlinear magnetic metamaterial, consisting of split-ring dimers with balanced gain and loss, discrete breather solutions can be found. We extend these studies and by…
We study interaction of a soliton in a parity-time (PT) symmetric coupler which has local perturbation of the coupling constant. Such a defect does not change the PT-symmetry of the system, but locally can achieve the exceptional point. We…
We propose a system of sine-Gordon equations, with the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry represented by balanced gain and loss in them. The equations are coupled by sine-field terms and first-order derivatives. The sinusoidal coupling stems from…
We consider radial sine-Gordon kinks in two, three and higher dimensions. A full two dimensional simulation showing that azimuthal perturbations remain small allows to reduce the problem to the one dimensional radial sine-Gordon equation.…
We consider the evolution of the 2-soliton (breather) of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation on a semi-infinite line with the zero boundary condition and a linear potential, which corresponds to the gravity field in the presence of a hard…
It is well known that one-dimensional Klein-Gordon lattices with nearest-neighbor interactions can support multibreathers with phase differences between the successive "central" oscillators $\phi_i=0\ \mbox{or}\ \pi$ (standard…
We analyze the influence of an impurity in the movement of discrete breathers in Klein--Gordon chains. We observe that the moving breather can cross the impurity, can be reflected by it, or can be trapped originating a quasi-periodic…
We study the existence and stability of multibreathers in Klein-Gordon chains with interactions that are not restricted to nearest neighbors. We provide a general framework where such long range effects can be taken into consideration for…
Stable discrete compactons in arrays of inter-connected three-line waveguide arrays are found in linear and nonlinear limits in conservative and in parity-time PT symmetric models. The compactons result from the interference of the fields…
The purpose of this paper is to construct small-amplitude breather solutions for a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation posed on a periodic metric graph via spatial dynamics and center manifold reduction. The major difficulty occurs from the…
We study the dynamics of the sine-Gordon model after a quantum quench into the attractive regime, where the spectrum consists of solitons, antisolitons and breathers. In particular, we analyse the time-dependent expectation value of the…
We consider a Hamiltonian chain of weakly coupled anharmonic oscillators. It is well known that if the coupling is weak enough then the system admits families of periodic solutions exponentially localized in space (breathers). In this paper…
In this paper we investigate the emergence of time-periodic and and time-quasiperiodic (sometimes infinitely long lived and sometimes very long lived or metastable) solutions of discrete nonlinear wave equations: discrete sine Gordon,…
We explore boundary scattering in the sine-Gordon model with a non-integrable family of Robin boundary conditions. The soliton content of the field after collision is analysed using a numerical implementation of the direct scattering…
The quantum sine-Gordon model is the simplest massive interacting integrable quantum field theory whose two-particle scattering matrix is generally non-diagonal. As such, it is a model that has been extensively studied, especially in the…
A connection between the dynamics of a sine-Gordon chain and a certain static membrane folding problem was recently found. The one-dimensional membrane profile is a cross-section of the position-time sine-Gordon amplitude profile. Here we…
Open systems with balanced gain and loss, described by parity-time PT-symmetric Hamiltonians have been deeply explored over the past decade. Most explorations are limited to finite discrete models (in real or reciprocal spaces) or continuum…
The inspiration for this theoretical paper comes from recent experiments on a PT-symmetric system of two coupled optical whispering galleries (optical resonators). The optical system can be modeled as a pair of coupled linear oscillators,…
Nonlinear classical Hamiltonian lattices exhibit generic solutions in the form of discrete breathers. These solutions are time-periodic and (typically exponentially) localized in space. The lattices exhibit discrete translational symmetry.…
