We study a (1+1)-dimensional field theory based on $(\psi \ln \psi)^2$ potential. There are three degenerate minima at $\psi = 0$ and $\psi=\pm1$. There are novel, asymmetric kink solutions of the form $\psi = \mp\exp (-\exp(\pm x))$…

In this paper, we study in detail various solutions, especially kink ones, in different nonlocal scalar field theories, whose kinetic term is described by an arbitrary non-polynomial analytic function of the d'Alembertian operator, and the…

Extending a recent effective theory formulation for the dynamics of kinks in the sine-Gordon model [1], we propose an analogous effective description of $\phi^4$ kinks. Three different reduced models based on the kink position, width and…

We study collisions of coherent structures in higher-order field-theoretic models, such as the $\phi^8$, $\phi^{10}$ and $\phi^{12}$ ones. The main distinguishing feature, of the example models considered herein, is that the collision…
