Decay of bound states in a sine-Gordon equation with double-well potentials

Abstract: We consider a spatially inhomogeneous sine-Gordon equation with a double-well potential, describing long Josephson junctions with phase-shifts. We discuss the interactions of symmetric and antisymmetric bound states in the system. Using a multiple scale expansion, we show that the modes decay algebraically in time due to the energy transfer from the discrete to the continuous spectrum. In particular, exciting the two modes at the same time yields an increased decay rate. An external time-periodic drive is show… Show more

“…The error bound that is of order O(ǫ 3/2 ) in Theorem 1 is linked to the choice of our rotating wave ansatz (3) that creates a residue of order O(ǫ 5/2 ). If we include a higher-order correction term in the ansatz (3), see Chapter 5.3 of [9] for the procedure to do it, we will obtain a smaller residue and in return a smaller error bound.…”

“…In this paper, we consider a Klein-Gordon equation with external damping and drive. Our present work will be relevant to models appearing in the study of, e.g., superconducting Josephson junctions [3], mechanical oscillators [18], electrical lattices [10], etc. Using the rotating-wave approximation, we will show that the corresponding modulation equation is a damped, driven discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation.…”

“…By considering u≃ sin u, the considered system becomes the Sine-Gordon equation. In future work, it will be interesting to investigate the Sine-Gordon model with nonlinear AC/DC drives with different fractional operators to study the solitonic behavior, localized modes in single and in stacked long Josephson junctions with a variety of potentials, parity time symmetry, the nonlinearity/dispersion effects, and evolution of the localized monotonic shocks [67][68][69][70][71][72][73].…”

“…Recently, the localized modes excitation has been studied in 0 − π − 0 long Josephson junctions for single-mode and two mode oscillations [30][31][32][33] by considering an inhomogeneous sine-Gordon equation with a variety of direct and parametric drives. It has been reported that in 0 − π − 0 long Josephson junctions, the amplitudes of the breathing modes decay with time due to radiative damping and emission of high harmonic radiations, which can be re-balanced by applying appropriate external drives.…”
