Integrability of differential-difference equations with discrete kinks
Abstract
We discuss a series of models introduced by Barashenkov, Oxtoby, and Pelinovsky to describe some discrete approximations of the Φ4 theory that preserve traveling kink solutions. Using the multiple scale test, we show that they have some integrability properties because they pass the A1 and A2 conditions, but they are nonintegrable because they fail the A3 conditions.
