Abstract

Nonintegrable differential-difference equations are constructed which support two-kink and two-soliton solutions. These equations are related to the discrete Burgers hierarchy and a discrete form of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. In particular, discretisations of equations related to the Fitzhugh-Nagumo-Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov, Satsuma-Burgers-Huxley equations are derived. Methods presented here can also be used to derive non-integrable differential-difference equations describing the elastic collision of more than two kinks or solitary waves.
