We consider SG-kink motion under the ac external force and dissipation assuming that kink shape conserves, and the kink velocity is changing in time. External forces are harmonically dependent upon time and are considered as step functions.

We investigate analytically and numerically the structure and properties of localized two- and three-kink solutions of the sine-Gordon equation, which are excited in the region of the attracting impurity. We have considered cases of single and double spatially extended impurity.

In this work, we use analytical and numerical methods to consider the problem of the structure and dynamics of coupled localized nonlinear waves in the sine-Gordon model with three identical attractive extended “impurities”, which are modeled by spatial inhomogeneity of the periodic potential. Two possible types of coupled nonlinear localized waves are found: breather and soliton. The influence of system parameters and initial conditions on the structure, amplitude, and frequency of localized waves was analyzed. Associated oscillations of localized waves of the breather type as in the case of point impurities, are the sum of three harmonic oscillations: in-phase, in-phase-antiphase and antiphase type. Frequency analysis of impurity-localized waves that were obtained during a numerical experiment was performed using discrete Fourier transform. To analyze localized breather-type waves, the numerical finite difference method was used. To carry out a qualitative analysis of the obtained numerical results, the problem was solved analytically for the case of small amplitudes of oscillations localized on impurities. It is shown that, for certain impurity parameters (depth and width), it is possible to obtain localized solitontype waves. The ranges of values of the system parameters in which localized waves of a certain type exist, as well as the region of transition from breather to soliton types of oscillations, have been found. The values of the depth and width of the impurity at which a transition from the breather to the soliton type of localized oscillations is observed were determined. Various scenarios of soliton-type oscillations with negative and positive amplitude values for all three impurities, as well as mixed cases, were obtained and considered. It is shown that in the case when the distance between impurities much less than one, there is no transition region where which the nascent breather, after losing energy through radiation, transforms into a soliton. It is shown that the considered model can be used, for example, to describe the dynamics of magnetization waves in multilayer magnets.

We investigated numerically the dynamics of kinks of modified sine-Gordon equation in the model with localized spatial modulation of a periodic potential (or impurity). We considered the case of two identical impurities. We showed the possibility of collective effects of the influence of impurities, which are heavily dependent on the distance between them. We demonstrated the existence of a certain critical value of the distance between impurities, which has two qualitatively different scenarios of the dynamic behavior of kink.

In this paper, we consider the interaction of a kink of the $\varphi^4$ equation with two identical extended impurities. An extended impurity is described using a rectangular function. The case of an attractive impurity is analyzed. Using analytical methods, we consider the case of small amplitudes of localized waves, when it is possible to linearize the equations of motion. For the numerical solution, the method of lines for partial differential equations was used. To find the oscillation frequencies of waves localized on impurities, the discrete Fourier transform is used. The kink was launched in the direction of the impurities with different initial velocities. The distance between the two impurities was also varied. It is shown that when a kink interacts with impurities, long-lived localized breather-type waves are excited on them. Their structure and coupled dynamics are investigated. It is determined how, by changing the parameters of the impurities and the distance between them, it is possible to control the type and dynamic parameters of the coupled oscillations of the waves localized on the impurities. Possible solutions in the form of in-phase, antiphase oscillations, in the form of beats are found. The oscillations of localized waves occur with the emission of small-amplitude waves. The spectrum of these emissions consists of two frequencies. The first is approximately equal to $\sqrt{2}$, which corresponds to the frequency value for the wobbling breather tail of the $\varphi^4$ equation. The second is approximately equal to the doubled frequency of impurity mode oscillations. The presence of two possible frequencies for coupled localized oscillations is found both analytically and numerically. It is shown that the frequencies strongly depend on the distance between impurities. With increasing distance between impurities, the frequencies merge into one — frequency obtained for the case of a single impurity. The dependences of the frequencies on the distance between impurities found numerically and analytically coincide well for large distances, when the interaction between impurities is weak, and begin to differ noticeably at small distances, when the interaction between impurities is strong. The analytical value of the obtained frequencies is always greater than the numerical ones. It is shown that the dependence of the amplitude of localized waves on the initial kink velocity has several minima and maxima.

The paper presents results that confirm the ability to control the movement of the kink of the modified sine-Gordon equation with variable external force parameters. Three types of external influences have been considered: permanent action, periodic action with a constant frequency and a frequency-modulated periodic exposure. The dependences of the position and velocity of the kink on time for various values of the parameters of external influence were obtained using the method of McLaughlin and Scott. It is shown that by changing the settings, one can adjust the velocity and direction of movement of the kink.

An approach to evaluation of a parametric portrait of integral equations of the theory of liquids in the RISM approximation was proposed. To obtain all associated solutions the continuation method was used. The equations reduced to a two-centered molecule model for symmetry reasons were deduced for molecular liquids. For molecular liquids, some equations were obtained which could be reduced, for symmetry reasons, to a two-center molecular model. To avoid critical points we changed the dependence of RISM-equations on reverse compressibility. The suggested method was used to perform numerical computations of methane reverse compressibility isotherms with three closures. No bifurcation of solutions was observed in the case of the partially linearized hypernetted chain closure. For other closures bifurcations of solutions were obtained and the model behavior nontypical for simple liquids was observed. In the case of Percus-Yevick closure nonphysical solutions were obtained at low temperature and density. Additional solution branch with a kink in the bifurcation point was obtained in the case of hypernetted chain closure at temperature above the critical point.

In 2007 Kasman conducted a series of original computer experiments with sine-Gordon kinks moving along artificial DNA sequences. Two sequences were considered. Each consisted of two parts separated by a boundary. The left part of the first sequence contained repeating TTA triplets that encode leucines, and the right part contained repeating CGC triplets that encode arginines. In the second sequence, the left part contained repeating CTG triplets encoding leucines, and the right part contained repeating AGA triplets encoding arginines. When modeling the kink movement, an interesting effect was discovered. It turned out that the kink, moving in one of the sequences, stopped without reaching the end of the sequence, and then “bounced off” as if he had hit a wall. At the same time, the kink movement in the other sequence did not stop during the entire time of the experiment. In these computer experiments, however, a simple DNA model proposed by Salerno was used. It takes into account differences in the interactions of complementary bases within pairs, but does not take into account differences in the moments of inertia of nitrogenous bases and in the distances between the centers of mass of the bases and the sugar-phosphate chain. The question of whether the Kasman effect will continue with the use of more accurate DNA models is still open. In this paper, we investigate the Kasman effect on the basis of a more accurate DNA model that takes both of these differences into account. We obtained the energy profiles of Kasman's sequences and constructed the trajectories of the motion of kinks launched in these sequences with different initial values of the energy. The results of our investigations confirmed the existence of the Kasman effect, but only in a limited interval of initial values of the kink energy and with a certain direction of the kinks movement. In other cases, this effect did not observe. We discussed which of the studied sequences were energetically preferable for the excitation and propagation of kinks.

To research dynamics of inhomogeneous polynucleotide DNA chain the Y-model with no dissipation term was used. Basing on this model using numerical methods calculations were carried out, which have shown the behaviour of nonlinear conformational excitation (kink), spreading along the inhomogeneous polynucleotide chain, consisting of two different homogeneous nucleotide sequences. As numerical analysis shows there are three ways of behaviour of the nonlinear kink excitation spreading along the DNA chain. After reaching the interface between two homogeneous sequences consisting of different types of bases kink can a) reflect, b) pass the interface with acceleration (increase its velocity), c) pass the interface with deceleration (decrease its velocity).
