Small Fluctuations in $\lambda \phi^{n+1}$ Theory in a Finite Domain: An Hirota's Method Approach

Abstract

We present a method to calculate small stationary fluctuations around static solutions describing bound states in a $(1+1)$-dimensional $\lambda \phi^{n+1}$ theory in a finite domain. We also calculate explicitly fluctuations for the $\lambda \phi^4$. These solutions are written in terms of Jacobi Elliptic functions and are obtained from both linear and nonlinear equations. For the linear case we get eingenvalues of a Lam\'e type Equation and the nonlinear one relies on Hirota's Method.
