Cq. Cheng et T. Kupper, DYNAMICAL BEHAVIOR OF 2-SOLITON SOLUTION EXHIBITED BY PERTURBED SINE-GORDON EQUATION, Mathematische Nachrichten, 171, 1995, pp. 53-77
We use perturbation methods based on inverse scattering transform to s
tudy the dynamical behavior of the kink-antikink solitons exhibited by
a driven-damped sine-Gordon equation with infinite boundary condition
. It is shown that such solitons may be forced by damping and external
forces to remain in a finite region instead of approaching infinity.
