Recently, the method of one-dimensional maps was introduced as a means of generating exceptional discretisations of the $\phi^4$-theories, i.e., discrete $\phi^4$-models which support kinks centred at a continuous range of positions…
We construct and study two kink theories. One contains a static 2-kink configuration with controllable binding energy. The other contains a locally stable non-topological solution, which we call a lavion. The new models are 1D analogs of…
