In this work we consider kink-antikink and antikink-kink collisions in a modified $\phi^4$ model with a false vacuum characterized by a dimensionless parameter $\epsilon$. The usual $\phi^4$ model is recovered for $\epsilon=0$. We…
In this paper the scattering between a wobbling kink and a wobbling antikink in the standard $\phi^4$ model is numerically investigated. The dependence of the final velocities, wobbling amplitudes and frequencies of the scattered kinks on…
We show that thick spectral walls exist in antikink-kink collisions in the $\phi^6$ model. In this model, they are triggered by the so-called $delocalized$ $modes$ which do not exist in the single-soliton sector but emerge in antikink-kink…
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…
At leading order, there are three inelastic scattering processes beginning with a quantum kink and a fundamental meson. Meson multiplication, in which the final state is a kink and two mesons, was treated recently. In this note we treat the…
In this work, kink-antikink collision in a two-dimensional Lorentz-violating $\phi^4$ model is considered. It is shown that the Lorentz-violating term in the proposed model does not affect the structure of the linear perturbation spectrum…
In this work we consider kink-antikink collisions for some classes of $(1,1)$-dimensional nonlinear models. We are particularly interested to investigate in which aspect the presence of a general kinetic content in the Lagrangian could be…
In this paper the kink scattering in a two-component scalar field theory model in (1+1)-Minkowskian space-time is addressed. The potential term $U(\phi_1,\phi_2)$ is given by a polynomial of fourth degree in the first field component and of…
We investigate kink-antikink collisions in a model characterized by two scalar fields in the presence of geometric constrictions. The model includes an auxiliary function that modifies the kinematics associated with one of the two fields.…
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 kink-antikink collisions in the one-dimensional non-integrable scalar phi^6 model. Although the single-kink solutions for this model do not possess an internal vibrational mode, our simulations reveal a resonant scattering…
In this paper the scattering between the non-topological kinks arising in a family of two-component scalar field theory models is analyzed. A winding charge is carried by these defects. As a consequence, two different classes of kink…
We investigate kink-antikink scattering in the $\lambda \phi^4$ model in the presence of an additional scalar field, $\psi$, that is in its quantum vacuum and interacts with $\phi$ via a $\xi \phi^2\psi^2$ term where $\xi$ is the coupling.…
We study various properties of topological solitons (kinks) of a field-theoretic model with a polynomial potential of the twelfth degree. This model is remarkable in that it has several topological sectors, in which kinks have different…
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 study the non-integrable $\phi^{6}$ model on the half-line. The model has two topological sectors. We chose solutions from just one topological sector to fix the initial conditions. The scalar field satisfies a Neumann boundary condition…
We study some properties of kink solutions of the model with non-polynomial potential obtained by deforming the well-known $\varphi^6$ field model. We consider the excitation spectrum of the kink. We also discuss the properties of the…
This paper investigates a model containing $\phi^4$ kinks interacting with fermions. The fermion back-reaction is included in the equations of motion, which affects the kink-antikink collisions. We show that the fermion field generates a…
Motivated by studies of the Greenberg-Hastings cellular automata (GHCA) as a caricature of excitable systems, in this paper we study kink-antikink dynamics in the perhaps simplest PDE model of excitable media given by the scalar reaction…
We study kink-antikink collisions in a model which interpolates smoothly between the completely integrable sine-Gordon theory, the $\phi^4$ model, and a $\phi^6$-like model with three degenerate vacua. We find a rich variety of behaviours,…
