Kink scattering in hyperbolic models

In this work, we study kink-antikink and antikink-kink collisions in hyperbolic models of fourth and sixth orders. We compared the patterns of scattering with known results from polynomial models of the same order. The hyperbolic models considered here tend to the polynomial phi(4) and phi(6) models in the limit of small values of the scalar field. We show that kinks and antikinks that interact hyperbolically with the fourth order differ sensibly from those governed by the polynomial phi(4) model. The increasing of the order of interaction to the sixth order shows that the hyperbolic and polynomial models give intricate structures of scattering that differ only slightly. The dependence on the order of interaction is related to some characteristics of the models such as the potential of perturbations and the number of vibrational modes.
