Hi guys, I'm currently having a lot of trouble with Maple and can't seem to get stuff to work. I have the task of solving and modelling the Klien Gordon equation, with a chosen potential. The equation I'm trying to solve is:

> KGE := diff(psi(x, t), x, x)-(diff(psi(x, t), t, t))-12*psi(x, t)^5+10*psi(x, t)^4+6*psi(x, t)^3-3*psi(x, t)^2-psi(x, t) = 0   

I'm doing this by changing the pde into an ode via a transformation 

>tr := {t = tau, x = c*tau+z, psi(x, t) = U(z)}

>ode1 := dchange(tr, KGE, [z, tau, U(z)])

 >ode1 := collect(ode1, diff(U(z), z, z))

>c := 1/4

>ode2 := subs({U(z) = U, diff(U(z), z, z) = V(U)*(diff(V(U), U))}, ode1)

>sol := dsolve({ode2, V(0) = 0}, V(U))

>sol1:= sol[2]

>z := -c*t+x = int(1/rhs(sol2), U)

>solwave := psi(x, t) = solve(z, U)

 

I then checked if my solution, solwave actually solved the pde via pdetest(solwave,KGE) and it did. Hence this is what I took as one of the kinks. Although the kink solution looks hideous and I have no idea how to try and take the limit as x goes to infinity, as to show it tends to a vacuum of the potential. I've tried taking the limit but all Maple does is replace all the x with infinity signs... 

I then tried animating it to see if it worked, but it just looks wrong, there are breaks within the curve and also very random spikes which I cannot explain at all.. 

I tried this code exactly for the Sine Gordon equation and it works perfectly, it just all goes wrong when I try to change the potential. 

Here is a picture of the frame: 

as you can see it has spikes.. and breaks in the curve as well

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another issue I had was with dealing with the potential on it's own, every time I try inputting  

>1/2(u^2)(1-u)^2(1+2u)^2  

into maple it changes the expression into something completely different and wrong, it somehow comes out with an exponential of 8.. This is what I get:

(1/2)*(u(1-u))(1+2*u)^8

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I also have a problem integrating, I try and plug in a value, i.e. 

>int(1/(x(1-x))(1+2*x), x)

but all this does is show me what I inputted but with a integral sign...

I'm very very new to Maple and have spent over a week doing this, but it just isn't working out at all :( Please help!!
