A researcher at the Laboratory of Information Technologies at JINR Igor Barashenkov and a lecturer at the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics of the University of Cape Town Nora Alexeeva presented the variational method employing the amplitude and width as collective coordinates of the Klein-Gordon oscillon. The method leads to a dynamical system with unstable periodic orbits that blow up when perturbed. The authors propose a multiscale variational approach free from the blowup singularities. An essential feature of the proposed trial function is the inclusion of the third collective variable: a correction for the nonuniform phase growth. In addition to determining the parameters of the oscillon, the authors’ approach detects the onset of its instability. The work was published in 2023 in the Physical Review D journal.   More in Russian.
