Exact solutions to the sine-Gordon equation

Abstract: A systematic method is presented to provide various equivalent solution formulas for exact solutions to the sine-Gordon equation. Such solutions are analytic in the spatial variable x and the temporal variable t, and they are exponentially asymptotic to integer multiples of 2π as x → ±∞. The solution formulas are expressed explicitly in terms of a real triplet of constant matrices. The method presented is generalizable to other integrable evolution equations where the inverse scattering transform is applied vi… Show more

“…It is also worth stressing that in the previous papers where the method of the triplets ( A, B, C) is used [32][33][34][35], the invertibility of the matrix P (solution of the Sylvester equation) is guaranteed by assuming the minimality of the triplet ( A, B, C), and that all the eigenvalues of the matrix A have positive real parts. In the present case, this is not true.…”

“…[32][33][34][35], we now solve explicitly the Marchenko equation (74) in the reflectionless case, i.e., when ρ(z) ≡ 0 for all z ∈ R, and a finite number of discrete eigenvalues ζ n (see Appendix B for more details). In order to do so, let us represent the 2 × 2 matrix Marchenko kernel as follows:…”

“…The classical SG equation is also used in a number of other physical applications. Among these are the motion of a rigid pendulum attached to a stretched wire Jin (2009); Wazwaz (2012), the dynamical properties of DNA molecules Wazwaz (2012), the stimulation of phonon modes Aktosun et al (2010), the signal dispersion in fiber optics for long-distance communications (Int sour. 2) and the phase difference across a long Josephson junction carrying a current infinitely under any applied voltage through two superconductors separated by an insulator layer Derks et al (2003).…”

“…Use of symbolic manipulation software packages eases the task. The inverse tangent form for solitonic solutions, and several exact solutions of this form, which are expressible in terms of elementary functions are well known [38,39]. However, (14) is a special type of vortex solution to the elliptic sine-Gordon equation, describing two intersecting solitons with a +1 vortex (disclination) at their intersection.…”
