Abstract
The effective potential obtained by Trullinger and Sasaki is discused. Using asymptotic methods from the theory of differential equations depending on a large parameter, the lattice corrections to the kink and kink-kink contributions to the free energy are calculated. The results are in complete agreement with a first order correction to the energy of the static kink.
