On the kink-kink collision problem for the ϕ6model with low speed

We study the elasticity of the collision of two kinks with an incoming low speed v (0, 1) for the nonlinear wave equation in dimension 1+1 known as the 6 model.We prove for any k that if the incoming speed v is small enough, then, after the collision, the two solitons move away with a velocity v f such that |v f -v| v k and the energy of the remainder will also be smaller than v k .This manuscript is the continuation of our previous paper where we constructed a sequence k of approximate solutions for the 6 model.The proof of our main result relies on the use of the set of approximate solutions from our previous work, modulation analysis, and a refined energy estimate method to evaluate the precision of our approximate solutions during a large time interval.The vacuum set V of the potential function U is the set U -1 {0} = {-1, 0, 1}.The unique constant solutions with finite energy of (1) are the functions of the form for any V.

Abstract

We study the elasticity of the collision of two kinks with an incoming low speed v (0, 1) for the nonlinear wave equation in dimension 1+1 known as the 6 model.We prove for any k that if the incoming speed v is small enough, then, after the collision, the two solitons move away with a velocity v f such that |v f -v| v k and the energy of the remainder will also be smaller than v k .This manuscript is the continuation of our previous paper where we constructed a sequence k of approximate solutions for the 6 model.The proof of our main result relies on the use of the set of approximate solutions from our previous work, modulation analysis, and a refined energy estimate method to evaluate the precision of our approximate solutions during a large time interval.The vacuum set V of the potential function U is the set U -1 {0} = {-1, 0, 1}.The unique constant solutions with finite energy of (1) are the functions of the form for any V.
