Following Finkelstein and Misner, kinks are non-trivial field configurations of a field theory, and different kink-numbers correspond to different disconnected components of the space of allowed field configurations for a given topology of…
In the present Chapter, we consider two prototypical Klein-Gordon models: the integrable sine-Gordon equation and the non-integrable $\phi^4$ model. We focus, in particular, on two of their prototypical solutions, namely the kink-like…
We study the properties of a relativistic model with logarithmic nonlinearity. We show that such model allows two types of solutions: topologically trivial (gaussons) and topologically non-trivial (kinks), depending on a sign of the…
In the present work we explore the competition of quadratic and quartic dispersion in producing kink-like solitary waves in a model of the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger type bearing cubic nonlinearity. We present the first 6 families of…

The (2+1)-dimension Klein-Gordon generalised equation is numerically solved through the finite differences method. Only the sine-Gordon case is focused: kink and antikink solutions are obtained in cartesian coordinates and evidence of…
This paper examines the effects of a thin layer of inhomogeneity on periodic solutions of the Multiple-sine-Gordon (MsG) model. We investigate the dynamics of the perturbed Double-sine-Gordon (DsG) system as a significant and more practical…

In this paper we study the dynamics of explicit solutions of $2+1$-dimensional ($2$D) sine-Gordon equation. The Darboux transformation is applied to the associated linear eigenvalue problem to construct nontrivial solutions of $2$D…
It is demonstrated that the breather solutions recently discovered in the weakly coupled topological discrete sine-Gordon system are spectrally unstable. This is in contrast with more conventional spatially discrete systems, whose breathers…
We study kink-antikink collisions in a particular case of the double sine-Gordon model depending on only one parameter $r$. The scattering process of large kink-antikink shows the changing of the topological sector. For some parameter…
In this paper we examine the scattering processes among the members of a rich family of kinks which arise in a (1+1)-dimensional relativistic two scalar field theory. These kinks carry two different topological charges that determine the…

The symmetric dynamics of two kinks and one antikink in classical (1+1)-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory is investigated. Gradient flow is used to construct a collective coordinate model of the system. The relationship between the discrete…

We study the scattering of kink and antikink of the double sine-Gordon model. There is a critical value of the initial velocity $v_{cr}$ of the colliding kinks, which separates different regimes of the collision. At $v_{in}>v_{cr}$ we…
We study the kink-antikink scattering within the double sine-Gordon model. In the numerical simulations we found a critical value $v_{cr}$ of the initial velocity $v_{in}$, which separates two different scenarios: at $v_{in}<v_{cr}$ the…
In this work, we consider a two-dimensional (2D) dilaton gravity model where the dilaton kinetic term $\mathcal{X}$ is modified by an additional derivative coupling term $\alpha\mathcal{X}^2$. In the case with a canonical scalar matter…
Given a kink bearing Hamiltonian, Isospectral Hamiltonian approach is used in generating new sets of Hamiltonains which also admit kink solutions. We use Sine-Gordon model as a example and explicitly work out the new sets of potentials and…
