Abstract

The collision between a kink and high amplitude breather in the Frenkel-Kontorova chain with a small degree of discreteness was studied numerically and the results were compared with an exact three-soliton solution to the sine-Gordon (SG) equation. It was found that there exists a narrow range of parameters of quasiparticles where the collision in the discrete system is strongly inelastic and that the inelastic collision occurs in the vicinity of a separatrix of the SG three-soliton solution.
