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 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.…
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…
In this work we consider a model where the potential has two topological sectors connecting three adjacent minima, as occurs with the $\phi^6$ model. In each topological sector, the potential is symmetric around the local maximum. For…

The deformed model $\tilde{\varphi}^{(6)}$ is introduced based on the $\varphi^4$ model using a deformation functional $F[\varphi]$ including a free parameter $a$. The kink solutions in different sectors and their internal modes are…
We consider the scattering of kinks of the sinh-deformed $\varphi^4$ model, which is obtained from the well-known $\varphi^4$ model by means of the deformation procedure. Depending on the initial velocity $v_{in}$ of the colliding kinks,…
We present a dynamical picture of kink-anti-kink scattering in a pair of special, Frankensteinian potentials made of piece-wise quadratic and linear pieces. Specifically, we focus on models that support kinks without skin and core regions.…
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…
We study boundary scattering in the $\phi^4$ model on a half-line with a one-parameter family of Neumann-type boundary conditions. A rich variety of phenomena is observed, which extends previously-studied behaviour on the full line to…
In this work we study kink-antikink and antikink-kink collisions in hyperbolic models of fourth and sixth order. We compared the patterns of scattering with known results from polynomial models of the same order. The hyperbolic models…
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…
We borrow the form of potential of the well-known kink-bearing $\varphi^4$ system in the range between its two vacua and paste it repeatedly into the other ranges to introduce the periodic $\varphi^4$ system. The paper is devoted to…
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.…
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…
The method of multiple scales is used to study the wobbling kink of the $\phi^4$ equation. The amplitude of the wobbling is shown to decay very slowly, as $t^{-1/2}$, and hence the wobbler turns out to be an extremely long-lived object.
We study the scattering processes of kink-antikink and kink-kink pairs in a field theory model with non-differentiable potential at its minima. The kink-antikink scattering includes cases of capture and escape of the soliton pair separated…
In this study, based on the $\varphi^4$ model, a new model (called the $B\varphi^4$ model) is introduced in which the potential form for the values of the field whose magnitudes are greater than $1$ is multiplied by the positive number $B$.…
