Abstract

A new class of sine-Gordon-type Lagrangians is studied for solitary-wave solutions. The potential is a series with N terms, N varying from 1 to ∞, and N=1 corresponding to the usual sine-Gordon form. The large- and small-x limits of the solutions are obtained analytically for arbitrary N. The large-x behaviour is shown to be distinct for N even or odd. Also, the solutions for arbitrarily large but finite N are found to differ exponentially from the N=∞ solution, for asymptotically large x.
