Numerical Solutions of the Forced Soliton Equation

Quentin Hales

We present numerical solutions of the forced soliton equation which describe a
kink soliton in two-dimensional φ4 theory undergoing acceleration. The accel-
eration is caused by an arbitrarily specifiable driving force that couples directly
to the soliton’s collective coordinate.
