We consider a rational scalar field model in (1+1)-dimensions where the long-range character of the kinks is controllable. We show via numerical simulations that kinks with long-range tails on both sides can exhibit resonance windows. The…

In this work we consider model of asymmetric kinks, where the behavior of the solution in one side is different from the other side. Also, the models depend of an integer $n$ and, with the increase of $n$, the constructed kink assumes a…

We consider a class of topological defects in $(1,1)$-dimensions with a deformed $\phi^4$ kink structure whose stability analysis leads to a Schr\"odinger-like equation with a zero-mode and at least one vibrational (shape) mode. We are…

Graphene kinks are topological states of buckled graphene membranes. We show that when a moving kink encounters a constriction, there are three general classes of behavior: reflection, trapping, and transmission. Overall, constriction is…

We study the elasticity of the collision of two kinks with an incoming low speed $v\in (0,1)$ for the nonlinear wave equation in dimension $1+1$ known as the $\phi^{6}$ model. We prove for any $k\in\mathbb{N}$ that if the incoming speed $v$…
