Energy transport and correlation between two attractors connected by Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain

Abstract

We study numerically time evolution of a system which consists of two attractors connected by Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chain. It is found that after sufficiently long time there exits self-consistent large scale structure in the system. The wavelet transform is used to separate the modes in different scales. We found that the nonlinear long wavelength mode propagating along the chain assists the energy transport. Further, all points in the system are found to be correlated. Our results explain satisfactorily why the chaotic behaviour is not enough to ensure the Fourier heat law and the thermal conductivity diverges as it is found recently by Lepri et al (PRL 78, 1897(1997).).

The Bogdanov Map: Bifurcations, Mode Locking, and Chaos in a Dissipative System

We investigate the bifurcations and basins of attraction in the Bogdanov map, a planar quadratic map which is conjugate to the Hénon area-preserving map in its conservative limit. It undergoes a Hopf bifurcation as dissipation is added, and exhibits the panoply of mode locking, Arnold tongues, and chaos as an invariant circle grows out, finally to be destroyed in the homoclinic tangency of the manifolds of a remote saddle point. The Bogdanov map is the Euler map of a two-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations first considered by Bogdanov and Arnold in their study of the versal unfolding of the double-zero-eigenvalue singularity, and equivalently of a vector field invariant under rotation of the plane by an angle $2π$. It is a useful system in which to observe the effect of dissipative perturbations on Hamiltonian structure. In addition, we argue that the Bogdanov map provides a good approximation to the dynamics of the Poincaré maps of periodically forced oscillators.

Passive Scalars and Three-Dimensional Liouvillian Maps

Global aspects of the motion of passive scalars in time-dependent incompressible fluid flows are well described by volume-preserving (Liouvillian) three-dimensional maps. In this paper the possible invariant structures in Liouvillian maps and the two most interesting nearly-integrable cases are investigated. In addition, the fundamental role of invariant lines in organizing the dynamics of this type of system is exposed. Bifurcations involving the destruction of some invariant lines and tubes and the creation of new ones are described in detail.
