Abstract

In this paper, we consider the sine-Gordon equation with a high-frequency parametric pumping and a weak dissipative force. We examine the class of π-kink-type solutions that are soliton solutions of the nonperturbed sine-Gordon equation. In contrast to stable 2π-kinks, these solutions are unstable. We prove that the time of decaying of π-kinks due to small perturbations is proportional to the cube of the inverse period of fast oscillations of the parametric pumping. We derive a two-time asymptotic expansion of a solution of the boundary-value problem and analyze evolution of a wave packet whose leading term has the form of a π-kink. Numerical simulations of solutions confirm the good qualitative agreement with asymptotic expansions.
