| Motion of kink solitons in the ϕ4 model in the presence of external spatially inhomogeneous forces is studied. Depending on the system parameters various routes to chaos, i.e. Feigenbaum's scenario, type-I intermittency, and chaos-chaos intermittency are observed. Synchronization of chaotic solitons is investigated. |
