摘要: We study the propagation and collision of the compacton-like kinks in the system of an anharmonic lattice with a double well on-site potential by a direct algebraic method and numerical experiments. It is found that the localization of the compacton-like kinks is related to the nonlinear coupling parameter Cnl and the potential barrier height V0 of the double well potential. The velocity of the propagation of the compacton-like kinks is determined by the linear coupling parameter Cl, the nonlinear coupling parameter Cnl and the localization parameter q. Numerical experiments demonstrate that appropriate Cl is not detrimental to a stable propagation of the compacton-like kinks. However, the collision of compacton-like kinks and anti-kinks in the lattice with comparatively small Cl leads to the emergence of a discrete stationary breather and small amplitude nonlinear oscillation background, while moderate Cl results in the emergence of two deformed kinks with radiating oscillations and lower propagation velocities.

The velocity of the propagation of the compacton-like kinks is determined by the linear coupling parameter C, the nonlinear coupling parameter Cnl and the localization parameter q. Numerical experiments demonstrate that appropriate Cl  is not detrimental to a stable propagation of the compacton-like kinks. However, the collision of compacton-like kinks and anti-kinks in the lattice with comparatively small Cl leads to the emergence of a discrete stationary breather and small amplitude nonlinear oscillation background, while moderate Cl results in the emergence of two deformed kinks with radiating oscillations and lower propagation velocities.
