Semi-compactness and multiple oscillating pulses in kink scattering

Abstract In this work we consider models of asymmetric kinks, where the behavior of the solution in one side is different from the other side. Also, the models depend of an integer n and, with the increase of n, the constructed kink assumes a hybrid character: a compactlike profile on one side and a...

Description
Summary:Abstract In this work we consider models of asymmetric kinks, where the behavior of the solution in one side is different from the other side. Also, the models depend of an integer n and, with the increase of n, the constructed kink assumes a hybrid character: a compactlike profile on one side and a kinklike profile on the other side. We investigate numerically the kink-antikink and antikink-kink dynamics, with the aim to understand the effect of the transition of the usual kink to the semi-compacton structure. The kink-antikink process shows the formation of one-bounce windows for small values of n. The increase of n favors the breaking this structure and the appearance of oscillatory modes. For antikink-kink collisions we report the appearance of two-bounce windows for small values of the parameter. We also found an intricate structure of two-oscillation windows.
