Abstract:
This paper studies the adiabatic dynamics of the breather soliton of the sine-Gordon equation. The integrals of motion are found and then used in soliton perturbation theory to derive the differential equation governing the soliton velocity. Time-dependent functions arise and their properties are studied. These functions are found to be bounded and periodic and affect the soliton velocity. The soliton velocity is numerically plotted against time for different combinations of initial velocities and perturbation terms.
