On the exchange of energy in coupled Klein–Gordon equations
Abstract
We consider a system of coupled Klein–Gordon equations, which models one-dimensional nonlinear wave processes in two-component media. We find both linear and nonlinear solutions involving the exchange of energy between the different components of the system. The solutions are a continuum generalization of the classical example of energy exchange in Mandelshtam’s system of coupled pendulums.
