We introduce the dynamical sine-Gordon equation in two space dimensions with parameter $\beta$, which is the natural dynamic associated to the usual quantum sine-Gordon model. It is shown that when $\beta^2 \in (0,\frac{16\pi}{3})$ the Wick…

In this report, the various 1D single soliton and multi-soliton solutions of the Sine-Gordon equation are explored. First the topological kink solitons and their properties for the Sine-Gordon, as well as the $\phi^{4}$ model are…
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…
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…
Recent microwave reflection measurements of Josephson junction ladders have suggested the presence of nearly coherent collective charge oscillations deep in the insulating phase. Here we develop a qualitative understanding of such coherent…
We consider a scalar Hamiltonian nonlinear wave equation formulated on networks; this is a non standard problem because these domains are not locally homeomorphic to any subset of the Euclidean space. More precisely, we assume each edge to…
Klein-Gordon equations describe the dynamics of waves/particles in sub-atomic scales. For a system of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations, a systematic analysis of the time evolution for their spatially uniform solutions has been performed…
