AC driven directed motion of solitary waves

    Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

    Abstract

    We study the possibility of unidirectional motion of a topological soliton of a dissipative (continuous and discrete) Klein-Gordon equation driven by AC forces with certain broken symmetries and with zero mean. The role played by the temporal asymmetry of the system in establishing soliton DC motions which resemble usual soliton ratchets is emphasized. The dependence of the soliton velocity on the system parameters is studied.
