We obtain asymptotic estimates of the interaction forces between kink and antikink in a family of field-theoretic models with two vacua in (1+1)-dimensional space-time. In our study we consider a new class of soliton solutions previously…
In this Letter, we address the {long-range interaction} between kinks and antikinks, as well as kinks and kinks, in $\varphi^{2n+4}$ field theories for $n>1$. The kink-antikink interaction is generically attractive, while the kink-kink…
In a scalar field theory with a symmetric octic potential having a quartic minimum and two quadratic minima, kink solutions have long-range tails. We calculate the force between two kinks and between a kink and an antikink when their…
We explore a class of $\phi^{4n}$ models with kink and antikink solutions that have long-range tails on both sides, specializing to the cases with $n=2$ and $n=3$. A recently developed method of an accelerating kink ansatz is used to…
We present a comprehensive review about the various facets of kink solutions with a power law tail which have received considerable attention during the last few years. This area of research is in its early stages and while several aspects…
We investigate the dynamics of the kinks that emerge in a one-dimensional scalar field theory with an octic potential containing a quartic minimum and two quadratic minima. We show analytically that kink-antikink and kink-kink pairs…
We study the scattering of the $\varphi^8$ kinks off each other, namely, we consider those $\varphi^8$ kinks that have power-law asymptotics. The slow power-law fall-off leads to a long-range interaction between the kink and the antikink.…
We study the asymptotic properties of kinks in connection with the deformation procedure. We show that, upon deformation of the field-theoretic model, the asymptotics of kinks can change or remain unchanged, depending on the properties of…
In a scalar field theory that has a symmetric octic potential with a quartic minimum and two quadratic minima, kink and mirror kink solutions have long-range tails. We calculate the force between these kinks when their long-range tails…
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…
We studied kink-antikink collisions in (1+1)-dimensional spacetime for all $Z_2$ symmetric $\phi^8$ models with four degenerate minima. Such a polynomial model has only one free parameter, allowing us to conduct an exhaustive analysis. We…
We theoretically analyse the equation of topological solitons in a chain of particles interacting via a repulsive power-law potential and confined by a periodic lattice. Starting from the discrete model, we perform a gradient expansion and…
In this thesis, we study interactions between topological defects in two-dimensional spacetimes. These defects are called kinks. They are solutions of scalar field theories with localized energy which propagate without losing its shape. In…
We provide examples of a large class of one dimensional higher order field theories with kink solutions which asymptotically have a power-law tail either at one end or at both ends. We provide analytic solutions for the kinks in a few cases…
We present a computational analysis of the long-range interactions of solitary waves in higher-order field theories. Our vehicle of choice is the $\varphi^8$ field theory, although we explore similar issues in example $\varphi^{10}$ and…
We demonstrate that for some certain values of parameters of the $(1+1)$-dimensional $\varphi^8$ model, the kink solutions can be found from polynomial equations. For some selected values of the parameters we give the explicit formulas for…
Interaction of asymmetric $\phi^6$ kinks with a spatially localized $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric perturbation is investigated numerically. It has been shown that when the kink (antikink) hits the defect from the gain side, a final velocity of…
We consider the interaction of solitons in a biharmonic, beam model analogue of the well-studied $\phi^4$ Klein-Gordon theory. Specifically, we calculate the force between a well separated kink and antikink. Knowing their accelerations as a…
We consider the interaction of solitary waves in a model involving the well-known $\phi^4$ Klein-Gordon theory, but now bearing both Laplacian and biharmonic terms with different prefactors. As a result of the competition of the respective…
We present several one-parameter family of higher order field theory models some of which admit explicit kink solutions with an exponential tail while others admit explicit kink solutions with a power-law tail. Various properties of these…
