We consider the reflectionless transport of sine-Gordon solitons on a line. Transparent boundary conditions for the sine-Gordon equation on a line are derived using the so-called potential approach. Our numerical implementation of these novel boundary conditions proves the absence of the backscattering in transmission of sine-Gordon solitons through the boundary of the considered finite domains.
In this paper we consider the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation on the metric star graph with tree semi-infinite bonds. At the branched point we put two types of vertex boundary conditions: the weight continuity and the condition for derivatives of wave functions as the generalized Kirchhoff rule. We solve this equation satisfying vertex boundary conditions and the energy, momentum conservation laws. We also show reflectionsless propagations of the kink soliton solution, plot the reflection coefficient and extend to other topologies.
We present a case demonstrating the connection between supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY--QM), reflectionless scattering, and soliton solutions of integrable partial differential equations. We show that the members of a class of reflectionless Hamiltonians, namely, Akulin's Hamiltonians, are connected via supersymmetric chains to a potential-free Hamiltonian, explaining their reflectionless nature. While the reflectionless property in question has been mentioned in the literature for over two decades, the enabling algebraic mechanism was previously unknown. Our results indicate that the m…
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 $ϕ^{4}$ model are investigated. This includes energy and momentum conservation laws for both models, as well as static kinks and antikinks. The Bogomol'nyi equation and the importance of Lorentz invariance are also discussed. Then in the second half, the focus is on Sine-Gordon multi-kink solutions, which are found by a separation of variables method rather than using inverse scattering o…
We construct a fermion system in a multi-kink-antikink soliton background, and present in an explicit form all its trapped configurations (bound state solutions) as well as scattering states. This is achieved by exploiting an exotic N=4 centrally extended nonlinear supersymmetry of completely isospectral pairs of reflectionless Schrodinger systems with potentials to be n-soliton solutions for the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The obtained reflectionless Dirac system with a position-dependent mass is shown to possess its own exotic nonlinear supersymmetry associated with the matrix Lax-Novikov op…
We consider the existence and spectral stability of static multi-kink structures in the discrete sine-Gordon equation, as a representative example of the family of discrete Klein-Gordon models. The multi-kinks are constructed using Lin's method from an alternating sequence of well-separated kink and antikink solutions. We then locate the point spectrum associated with these multi-kink solutions by reducing the spectral problem to a matrix equation. For an $m$-structure multi-kink, there will be $m$ eigenvalues in the point spectrum near each eigenvalue of the primary kink, and, as long as the …
Two families of solutions of a generalized non-Abelian Toda lattice are considered. These solutions are expressed in terms of quasideterminants, constructed by means of Darboux and binary Darboux transformations. As an example of the application of these solutions, we consider the 2-periodic reduction to a matrix sine-Gordon equation. In particular, we investigate the interaction properties of polarized kink solutions.
We consider the sine-Gordon equation on metric graphs with simple topologies and derive vertex boundary conditions from the fundamental conservation laws, such as energy and current conservation. Traveling wave solutions for star and tree graphs are obtained analytically in the form of kink, antikink and breather solitons for a special case. It is shown that these solutions provide reflectionless soliton transmission at the graph vertex. We find the sum rule for bond-dependent coefficients making the sine-Gordon equation embedded on the graph completely integrable. For the general case the pro…
We study various solutions of the Sine Gordon model in (1+1) dimensions. We use the Hirota method to construct some of them and then show that the wobble, discussed in detail by Kälberman, is one of such solutions. We concentrate our attention on a kink and its bound states with one or two breathers. We study their stability and some aspects of their scattering properties on potential wells and on fixed boundary conditions.
In an attempt to understand the soliton resolution conjecture, we consider the Sine-Gordon equation on a spherically symmetric wormhole spacetime. We show that within each topological sector (indexed by a positive integer degree $n$) there exists a unique linearly stable soliton, which we call the $n$-kink. We give numerical evidence that the $n$-kink is a global attractor in the evolution of any smooth, finite energy solutions of degree $n$. When the radius of the wormhole throat $a$ is large enough, the convergence to the $n$-kink is shown to be governed by internal modes that slowly decay d…
We present four examples of integrable partial differential equations (PDEs) of mathematical physics that---when linearized around a stationary soliton---exhibit scattering without reflection at {\it all} energies. Starting from the most well-known and the most empirically relevant phenomenon of the transparency of one-dimensional bright bosonic solitons to Bogoliubov excitations, we proceed to the sine-Gordon, Korteweg-de Vries, and Liouville's equation whose stationary solitons also support our assertion. The proposed connection between integrability and reflectionless scattering seems to sp…
Recently, the method of one-dimensional maps was introduced as a means of generating exceptional discretisations of the $ϕ^4$-theories, i.e., discrete $ϕ^4$-models which support kinks centred at a continuous range of positions relative to the lattice. In this paper, we employ this method to obtain exceptional discretisations of the sine-Gordon equation (i.e. exceptional Frenkel-Kontorova chains). We also use one-dimensional maps to construct a discrete sine-Gordon equation supporting kinks moving with arbitrary velocities without emitting radiation.
We have studied the space-reflection symmetries of some soliton solutions of deformed sine-Gordon models in the context of the quasi-integrability concept. Considering a dual pair of anomalous Lax representations of the deformed model we compute analytically and numerically an infinite number of alternating conserved and asymptotically conserved charges through a modification of the usual techniques of integrable field theories. The charges associated to two-solitons with a definite parity under space-reflection symmetry, i.e. kink-kink (odd parity) and kink-antikink (even parity) scatterings …
In this paper, we develop the dressing method to study the exact solutions for the vector sine-Gordon equation. The explicit formulas for one kink and one breather are derived. The method can be used to construct multi-soliton solutions. Two soliton interactions are also studied. The formulas for position shift of the kink and position and phase shifts of the breather are given. These quantities only depend on the pole positions of the dressing matrices.
In this article we prove that 2-soliton solutions of the sine-Gordon equation (SG) are orbitally stable in the natural energy space of the problem. The solutions that we study are the {\it 2-kink, kink-antikink and breather} of SG. In order to prove this result, we will use Bäcklund transformations implemented by the Implicit Function Theorem. These transformations will allow us to reduce the stability of the three solutions to the case of the vacuum solution, in the spirit of previous results by Alejo and the first author, which was done for the case of the scalar modified Korteweg-de Vries e…

We derive exact solutions to the sine--Gordon equation describing localized structures on the background of librational and rotational travelling waves. In the case of librational waves, the exact solution represents a localized spike in space-time coordinates (a rogue wave) which decays to the periodic background algebraically fast. In the case of rotational waves, the exact solution represents a kink propagating on the periodic background and decaying algebraically in the transverse direction to its propagation. These solutions model the universal patterns in the dynamics of fluxon condensat…
The aim of this paper is to introduce the Inverse Scattering Method for later studies of some problems in nonlinear dynamics, and describe the kink solution of the Sine Gordon Equation using the Inverse Scattering Method as a methodological example, the soliton solution is well known.
Deformed sine-Gordon (DSG) models $\partial_ξ\partial_η\, w + \frac{d}{dw}V(w) = 0$, with $V(w)$ being the deformed potential, are considered in the context of the Riccati-type pseudopotential approach. A compatibility condition of the deformed system of Riccati-type equations reproduces the equation of motion of the DSG models. Then, we provide a pair of linear systems of equations for DSG model, and provide an infinite tower of non-local conservation laws. Through a direct construction and supported by numerical simulations of soliton scatterings, we show that the DSG models, which have rece…
We study a discrete Darboux transformation and construct the multi-soliton solutions in terms of ratio of determinants for integrable discrete sine-Gordon equation. We also calculate explicit expressions of single, double, triple, quad soliton solutions as well as single and double breather solutions of discrete sine-Gordon equation. Dynamical features of discrete kinks and breathers have also been illustrated.
