The subject of our consideration is a family of semilinear wave equations with a small parameter and nonlinearities which provide the existence of kink-type solutions (solitons). Using asymptotic analysis and numerical simulation, we demonstrate that solitons of the same type (kinks or antikinks) interact in the same manner as for the sine-Gordon equation. However, solitons of the different type preserve the shape after the interaction only in the case of two or three waves, and, moreover, under some additional conditions.

Like a number of other nonlinear dispersive wave equations the sine–Gordonequation z , xt = sin z has both multi-soliton solutions and an infinity of conserved densities which are polynomials in z , x , z , xx , etc. We prove that the generalized sine–Gordon equation z , xt = F ( z ) has an infinity of such polynomial conserved densities if, and only if, F ( z ) = A e αz + B e – αz for complex valued A, B and α ≠ 0. If F ( z ) does not take the form A e αz + B e βz there is no p. c. d. of rank greater than two. If α ≠ – β there is only a finite number of p. c. ds. If α = – β then if A and B are non-zero all p. c. ds are of even rank; if either A or B vanishes the p. c. ds are of both even and odd ranks. We exhibit the first eleven p. c. ds in each case when α = – β and the first eight when α ≠ – β . Neither the odd rank p. c. ds in the case α = – β , nor the particular limited set of p. c. ds in the case when α ≠ – β have been reported before. We connect the existence of an infinity of p. c. ds with solutions of the equations through an inverse scattering method, with Bäcklund transformations and, via Noether’s theorem, with infinitesimal Bäcklund transformations. All equations with Bäcklund transformations have an infinity of p. c. ds but not all such p. c. ds can be generated from the Bäcklund transformations. We deduce that multiple sine–Gordon equations like z , xt = sin z + ½ sin ½ z , which have applications in the theory of short optical pulse propagation, do not have an infinity of p. c. ds. For these equations we find essentially three conservation laws: one and only one of these is a p. c. d. and this is of rank two. We conclude that the multiple sine–Gordons will not be soluble by present formulations of the inverse scattering method despite numerical solutions which show soliton like behaviour. Results and conclusions are wholly consistent with the theorem that the generalized sine–Gordon equation has auto-Bäcklund transformations if, and only if Ḟ ( z ) – α 2 F ( z ) = 0.

The separation transformation method is extended to the (1+N)-dimensional triple Sine-Gordon equation and a special type of implicitly exact solution for this equation is obtained. The exact solution contains an arbitrary function which may lead to abundant localized structures of the high dimensional nonlinear wave equations. The separation transformation method in this paper can also be applied to other kinds of high-dimensional nonlinear wave equations

A complete classification of all low-order conservation laws is carried out for a system of coupled semilinear wave equations which is a natural two-component generalization of the nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation. The conserved quantities defined by these conservation laws are derived and their physical meaning is discussed.
