In this paper, we introduce a commensurable and non-degenerate double sine-Gordon model, in which a partial breaking of vacuum degeneracy provides a mechanism for the emergence of static multi-kinks. These multi-kinks $K_n$ are stable field…
An overdamped dynamical system, biased by an external constant force, does not exhibit negative mobility. However, when the system is coupled to its copy, negative mobility can arise. We show it by the example of an experimentally…
