Deformed sine-Gordon (DSG) models ∂ ξ ∂η w + d dw V (w) = 0, with V (w) being the deformed potential, are considered in the context of the Riccati-type pseudo-potential 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 the DSG model and an associated 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 recently been defined as quasi-integrable in the anomalous zero-curvature approach [Ferreira-Zakrzewski, JHEP05(2011)130], possess new towers of infinite number of quasi-conservation laws. We compute numerically the first sets of non-trivial and independent charges (beyond energy and momentum) of the DSG model: the two third order conserved charges and the two fifth order asymptotically conserved charges in the pseudo-potential approach, and the first four anomalies of the new towers of charges, respectively. We consider kink-kink, kink-antikink and breather configurations for the Bazeia et al. potential Vq(w) = 64 q 2 tan 2 w 2 (1 − | sin w 2 | q ) 2 (q ∈ IR), which contains the usual SG potential V2(w) = 2[1 − cos (2w)]. The numerical simulations are performed using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method supplied with non-reflecting boundary conditions.

AbstractThe problem of packing circles within ellipses is considered in the present paper. A new ellipse-based system of coordinates is introduced by means of which a closed formula to compute the distance of an arbitrary point to the boundary of an ellipse exists. Nonlinear programming models for some variants of 2D and 3D packing problems involving circular items and elliptical objects are given. The resulting models are medium-sized highly nonlinear challenging nonlinear programming problems for which a global solution is sought. For this purpose, multistart strategies are carefully and thoroughly explored. Numerical experiments are exhibited.
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 with equal and opposite velocities, split into two infinite towers of conserved and asymptotically conserved charges. For two-solitons without definite parity under space-reflection symmetry (kink-kink and kink-antikink scatterings with unequal and opposite velocities) our numerical results show the existence of the asymptotically conserved charges only. However, we show that in the center-of-mass reference frame of the two solitons the parity symmetries and their associated set of exactly conserved charges can be restored. Moreover, the positive parity breather-like (kink-antikink bound state) solution exhibits a tower of exactly conserved charges and a subset of charges which are periodic in time. We back up our results with extensive numerical simulations which also demonstrate the existence of long lived breather-like states in these models. The time evolution has been simulated by the 4th order Runge-Kutta method supplied with non-reflecting boundary conditions.
