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…

The asymmetric scattering between wobblers and kinks in the standard $\phi^4$ model is numerically investigated in two different scenarios. First, the collision between wobblers with opposite phase is analyzed. Here, a destructive…

In the present work we construct kink solutions for different (parabolic and wave) variants of the fractional $\phi^4$ model, in both the sub-Laplacian and super-Laplacian setting. We establish existence and monotonicity results (for the…

In many Hamiltonian systems, propagation of steadily travelling solitons or kinks is prohibited because of resonances with linear excitations. We show that Hamiltonian systems with resonances may admit an infinite number of travelling…

For kink-antikink scattering within the \phi^4 non--linear field theory in one space and one time dimension resonance type configurations emerge when the relative velocity between kink and antikink falls below a critical value. It has been…

Kink-antikink scattering in the $\phi^4$ model is investigated in the limit when the static inter-soliton force vanishes. We observe the formation of spectral walls and, further, identify a new phenomenon, the vacuum wall, whose existence…

To show that steadily propagating nonlinear waves in active matter can be driven internally, we develop a prototypical model of a topological kink moving with a constant supersonic speed. We use a model of a bi-stable mass-spring (FPU)…

We calculate the leading order amplitude and probability for the elastic scattering of an elementary meson and a kink in the $\phi^4$ double-well model. Classically, the kink is reflectionless, and so the leading contribution arises at one…

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 analyze the interaction of lattice vibrations (phonon wave-packets) with an asymmetric kink soliton initially at rest. We employ the $\phi^6$ model in one space and one time dimensions for various lattice spacings and consider two…

The ratchet dynamics of a kink (topological soliton) of a dissipative sine-Gordon equation in the presence of ac forces with harmonic mixing (at least bi-harmonic) of zero mean is studied. The dependence of the kink mean velocity on system…

We investigate the role that quasinormal modes can play in kink-antikink collisions, via an example based on a perturbation of the $\phi^4$ model. We find that narrow quasinormal modes can store energy during collision processes and return…

We establish the full asymptotic stability of the sine-Gordon kink outside symmetry under small perturbations in weighted Sobolev norms. Our proof consists of a space-time resonances approach based on the distorted Fourier transform to…

A triaxial core rotating around the middle axis, i.e. 2-axis, is cranked around the 1-axis, due to the coupling of an odd proton from a high j orbital. Using the Bargmann representation of a new and complex boson expansion of the angular…
