Theorem about simple classification of reductions of the Sine-Gordon equation to an ordinary differential equation.

Key Points

The aim is to classify specific reductions of the sine-Gordon equation under certain conditions, resulting in ordinary differential equations.
Classified reductions of the sine-Gordon equation of the form \(\omega(u,v)=f(\phi(u,v))\)
Investigated conditions for \(\phi_u\phi_v\) and \(\phi_{uv}\) to be functions of \(\phi\) alone
Proven that \(\phi\) can be expressed as a function of a bilinear expression.
Identified that the reduced ordinary differential equation corresponds to either the pendulum equation or an Amsler-type equation
Showed that \(\phi\) must adhere to a specific functional form up to reparameterisation.

Abstract

We classify reductions of the sine-Gordon equation \ (ₔₕ=\) of the form \ ( (u, v) =f ( (u, v) ) \) under the condition that \ (ᵤᵥ\) and \ (ₔₕ\) are functions of \ (\) alone. This condition guarantees that the substitution yields an ordinary differential equation for \ (f\). We prove that such a \ (\) must be, up to a smooth reparameterisation, a function of a bilinear expression \ (u+ v+ uv+\). Consequently, the reduced ODE is either the pendulum equation (traveling waves) or an Amsler-type equation. The proof is self-contained and rigorous.
