Dynamics of sine-Gordon kinks in the presence of rapidly varying periodic perturbations of different physical origins is described analytically and numerically. The analytical approach is based on asymptotic expansions, and it allows to…

We consider a dc-driven damped sine-Gordon model with a small nonlinear spatial-disorder term, onto which a sinusoidal modulation is superimposed. It describes, e.g., a weakly disordered system with a regular grain structure. We demonstrate…

In this paper, we numerically study the scattering of kinks in the noncanonical sine-Gordon model using Fourier spectral methods. The model depends on two free parameters, which control the localized inner structure in the energy density…

It is shown how a integrable mechanical system provides all the localized static solutions of a deformation of the linear O(N)-sigma model in two space-time dimensions. The proof is based on the Hamilton-Jacobi separability of the…

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…

We examine the problem of the dynamics of interfaces in a one-dimensional space-time discrete dynamical system. Two different regimes are studied : the non-propagating and the propagating one. In the first case, after proving the existence…

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…

We propose a system of sine-Gordon equations, with the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry represented by balanced gain and loss in them. The equations are coupled by sine-field terms and first-order derivatives. The sinusoidal coupling stems from…
