We examine various recently proposed discretizations of the well-known $\phi^4$ field theory. We compare and contrast the properties of their fundamental solutions including the nature of their kink-type solitary waves and the spectral…
Oscillons are time-dependent, localized in space, extremely long-lived states in nonlinear scalar-field models, while kinks are topological solitons in one spatial dimension. In the present work, we show new classes of oscillons and…

In this paper we use the deformation procedure introduced in former work on deformed defects to investigate several new models for real scalar field. We introduce an interesting deformation function, from which we obtain two distinct…
We study simultaneous collisions of two, three, and four kinks and antikinks of the $\phi^6$ model at the same spatial point. Unlike the $\phi^4$ kinks, the $\phi^6$ kinks are asymmetric and this enriches the variety of the collision…
In this work, we study kink collisions in a scalar field model with scalar-kinetic coupling. This model supports kink/antikink solutions with inner structure in the energy density. The collision of two such kinks is simulated by using the…
In this work we deform the phi^4 model with distinct deformation functions, to propose a diversity of sine-Gordon-like models. We investigate the proposed models and we obtain all the topological solutions they engender. In particular, we…
This work deals with models described by three real scalar fields in one spatial dimension. We study the case where two of the three fields engender kinematical modifications, which respond as geometrical constrictions, that can be used to…
We present a one-parameter family of deformation functions $f(\phi)$ which have novel properties. Firstly, the deformation function is its own inverse. We show that a class of potentials remains invariant under this deformation. Further,…
We study final states in the scattering of kinks and antikinks of the $\varphi^8$ field-theoretic model. We use the initial conditions in the form of two, three or four static or moving kinks. In the numerical experiments we observe a…
We study fermion modes localized on the kink in the 1+1 dimensional $\phi^4$ model, coupled to the Dirac fermions with backreaction. Using numerical methods we construct self-consistent solutions of the corresponding system of coupled…
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…
Antikink-kink ( $\bar{\rm K} $$ {\rm K}$) collisions in the $\phi^6$ model exhibit resonant scattering although the $\phi^6$ kinks do not support any bound states to which energy could be transferred. In Phys. Rev. Lett. 107 (2011) 091602…
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…
The transition from integrable to non-integrable highly-dispersive nonlinear models is investigated. The sine-Gordon and $\phi^4$-equations with the additional fourth-order spatial and spatio-temporal derivatives, describing the higher…
Many kink solutions enjoy internal excitations, called shape modes. In some 1+1d scalar models, such as the $\phi^4$ double-well model, when a kink's shape mode is excited twice it may decay to a ground state kink plus a meson. We…
We investigate a class of scalar field models which engender kink-like solutions in the presence of polynomial potentials that allows for modifications of the tails of the localized configurations. We introduce a parameter in the potential…
There is a series of scalar models possessing reflectionless kinks whose linear perturbations are described by a P\"oschl-Teller potential at integer level $\sigma$. The cases $\sigma=1$ and $2$ are the well-known Sine-Gordon and $\phi^4$…
We study kink scattering processes in the (1+1)-dimensional $\varphi^6$ model in the framework of the collective coordinate approximation. We find critical values of the initial velocities of the colliding kinks. These critical velocities…
In this work we use the deformation procedure and explore the route to obtain distinct field theory models that present similar stability potentials. Starting from systems that interact polynomially or hyperbolically, we use a deformation…
