In this paper, we investigate a wide range of dynamical regimes produced by the nonlinearly excited phase (NEP) equation (a single sixth-order nonlinear partial differential equation) using a more advanced numerical method, namely, the integrated radial basis function network method. Previously, we obtained single-step spinning solutions of the equation using the Galerkin method. First, we verify the numerical solver through an exact solution of a forced version of the equation. Doing so, we compare the numerical results obtained for different space and time steps with the exact solution. Then, we apply the method to solve the NEP equation and reproduce the previously obtained spinning regimes. In the new series of numerical experiments, we find regimes in the form of spinning trains of steps/kinks comprising one, two, or three kinks. The evolution of the distance between the kinks is analyzed. Two different kinds of boundary conditions are considered: homogeneous and periodic. The dependence of the dynamics on the size of the domain is explored showing how larger domains accommodate multiple spinning fronts. We determine the critical domain size (bifurcation size) above which non-trivial settled regimes become possible. The initial condition determines the direction of motion of the kinks but not their sizes and velocities.
