In this paper, we employ this method to obtain exceptional discretisations of the sine-Gordon equation (i.e. exceptional Frenkel-Kontorova chains). We also use one-dimensional maps to construct a discrete sine-Gordon equation supporting kinks moving with arbitrary velocities without emitting radiation.20 pagesPattern Formation and SolitonsExactly Solvable and Integrable SystemsExceptional discretisations of the sine-Gordon equationtext
