We consider a spatially non-autonomous discrete sine-Gordon equation with constant forcing and its continuum limit(s) to model a 0-$\pi$ Josephson junction with an applied bias current. The continuum limits correspond to the strong coupling…
In this work, we will use inverse scattering transform to study the semi-discrete Gardner equation under two types of non-vanishing boundary conditions, and investigate two interesting nonlinear waves in the presence of discrete spectrum,…
We discuss possible origins for discrepancies observed in the radiated energies in head-on collisions of non-spinning binaries starting from Brill-Lindquist and superposed Kerr-Schild data. For this purpose, we discuss the impact of…
We show that in some kink-antikink (KAK) collisions sphalerons, i.e., unstable static solutions - rather than the asymptotic free soliton states - can be the source of the internal degrees of freedom (normal modes) which trigger the…
The radiation from oscillating kink in (1+1) dimensional relativistic $\phi^4$ model is considered. Both analytical and numerical approaches are presented and the comparison between these methods is discussed. Acceleration of the kink in…

We consider static solutions of the sine-Gordon theory defined on a cylinder, which can be either periodic or quasi-periodic in space. They are described by the different modes of a simple pendulum moving in an inverted effective potential…
We derive a closed-form expression for the phase shift experienced by 1+1 dimensional kinks colliding at ultra-relativistic velocities (gamma v >> 1), valid for arbitrary periodic potentials. Our closed-form expression is the leading order…
We develop {\em the first analytical theory of multikinks} for strongly {\em dispersive nonlinear systems}, considering the examples of the weakly discrete sine-Gordon model and the generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model with a piecewise…
We investigate the effect of the breaking of integrability in the integrals of motion of a sine-Gordon-like system. The class of quasi-integrable models, discussed in the literature, inherits some of the integrable properties they are…
We explore a {\phi}^4 model with an added external parabolic potential term. This term dramatically alters the spectral properties of the system. We identify single and multiple kink solutions and examine their stability features;…
The collision properties of overtaking small-amplitude supersolitons are investigated for the fluid model of a plasma consisting of cold ions and two-temperature Boltzmann electrons. A reductive perturbation analysis is performed for…
We present a dynamical picture of kink-anti-kink scattering in a pair of special, Frankensteinian potentials made of piece-wise quadratic and linear pieces. Specifically, we focus on models that support kinks without skin and core regions.…
In both the Gardner equation and its extensions, the non-convex convection bounds the range of solitons / compactons velocities beyond which they dissolve and kink/anti-kink form. Close to solitons barrier we unfold a narrow strip of…
We initiate the study of the asymptotic behavior of small solutions to one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equations with variable coefficient quadratic nonlinearities. The main discovery in this work is a striking resonant interaction between…
We investigate the nucleation, annihilation, and dynamics of kinks in a classical (1+1)-dimensional Phi^4 field theory at finite temperature. From large scale Langevin simulations, we establish that the nucleation rate is proportional to…
We consider the nonlinear focusing Klein-Gordon equation in $1 + 1$ dimensions and the global space-time dynamics of solutions near the unstable soliton. Our main result is a proof of optimal decay, and local decay, for even perturbations…
We continue our study of the collision of two solitons for the subcritical generalized KdV equations. In a previous paper, mainly devoted to the case of the quartic gKdV equation, we have introduced a new framework to understand the…
We present an analytic study of the finite size effects in Sine--Gordon model, based on the semiclassical quantization of an appropriate kink background defined on a cylindrical geometry. The quasi--periodic kink is realized as an elliptic…
We are interested in the nonlinear damped Klein-Gordon equation \[ \partial_t^2 u+2\alpha \partial_t u-\Delta u+u-|u|^{p-1}u=0 \] on $\mathbb{R}^d$ for $2\le d\le 5$ and energy sub-critical exponents $2 < p < \frac{d+2}{d-2}$. We construct…
