1. Introduction The Klein–Gordon equation (KGE) is a relativistic field equation for scalar particles (spin-0). It is the relativistic wave equation version of the Schrödinger’s equation. Although there are other relativistic wave equations, KGE has been the most frequently studied equation for describing the particle dynamics in quantum field theory [1–10]. Recently there has been a great deal of theoretical work devoted to the study of the exact solution of KGE for various potentials [2,3,7]. Such solutions are of interest in many fields such as Nuclear Physics, High-Energy Physics, Gravitation and in Statistical and Condensed Matter Physics. It also has applications in Nonlinear Optics where KGE plays an important role for Bose–Einstein condensates trapped in strong optical lattices formed by the interference patterns of laser beams [1,4,5,10]. The KGE with vector and scalar potentials can only be solved exactly for certain potentials such as Coulomb, Morse and harmonic oscillator etc. In this context, it provides a good description of the scalar particles. In particular, for the case of pionic bound states in the Coulomb field of the nucleii, the KGE gives a good first order approximation of the problem [3]. In this paper, the study is going to be focussed on the quadratic nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation along with its perturbation terms. 2. Mathematical analysis The quadratic nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation (qnKGE), in the dimensionless form is given by 2

methods have been proposed that includes the tanh-function method, Jacobi’s elleptic function expansion method, homogenous balance method, sine–cosine method, auxiliary equation method just to name a few. Using the auxiliary equation method several travelling wave solutions, rather more than 15, to (1) was recently obtained in 2006 [8]. In this paper, the interest is going to be concentrated on the 1-soliton solution of (1) that is given by [8] A ; ð2Þ qðx; tÞ ¼ 2 cosh ½Bðx vtÞ where 3a ; 2brffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 1 a B¼ ; 2 k2 v2

The law of adiabatic variation of the velocity of the soliton, which is the main focus of the paper, can be retrieved from either of the two laws of adiabatic variation given in (10) or (11). So, without any loss of generality, the momentum equation given by (10) will be used to obtain the law of variation of soliton velocity, in presence of such perturbation terms. Thus, from (7), one obtains 2

The perturbation term due to a arises in the charge density wave system where this ‘exotic’ perturbation term is observed. Also, the term due to b accounts for dissipative losses in Josephson junction theory due to tunneling of normal electrons across the dielectric barrier, while r accounts for losses due to a current along the barrier. The perturbation term due to c is generated by a small inhomogenous part of the local inductance while k the capacity inhomogeneity. The higher order spatial dispersion term is given by m. Finally, g1 arises in the system of easy plane ferromagnets when an external ac magnetic field is orthogonal plane and g2 is another important magnetic perturbation that describes weak higher anisotropy in an easy plane ferromagnet. The perturbation term due to g1 also arises in the context of microinhomogeneity in Josephson junction theory. Thus, the perturbed qnKGE that is going to be studied in this paper is given by 2

In order to carry out the integration in (17), one needs to consider following four cases: Case-I: When the polynomial in v has all three real roots say v ¼ v1 ; v2 and v3 one can write ð7b 20rB2 Þt 2

It is important to note here that the solution is implicit in v, namely t is expressed as a function of v and not the other way around, except for the third case. In this case, one can, in addition, obtain the limiting value of the soliton velocity, for large time. 4. Conclusions In this paper, the qnKGE is studied along with the perturbation terms. These perturbation terms that are studied are all local and consequently the adiabatic variation of the velocity of the soliton is obtained in presence of such perturbation terms. There are four cases that are studied depending on the polynomial function of the velocity of the soliton. These cases exhaustively cover all the possible scenarios. In future, the other types of nonlinear Klein–Gordon equations are going to be studied. The results of those research will be reported in future.
