[КНИГА][B] Geometry and topology in Hamiltonian dynamics and statistical mechanics

M Pettini - 2007 - Springer
Phase transitions are among the most impressive phenomena occurring in nature. They are
an example of emergent behavior, ie, of collective properties having no direct counterpart in …

Geometry of dynamics, Lyapunov exponents, and phase transitions

L Caiani, L Casetti, C Clementi, M Pettini - Physical review letters, 1997 - APS
The Hamiltonian dynamics of the classical planar Heisenberg model is numerically
investigated in two and three dimensions. In three dimensions peculiar behaviors are found …

Riemannian theory of Hamiltonian chaos and Lyapunov exponents

L Casetti, C Clementi, M Pettini - Physical Review E, 1996 - APS
A nonvanishing Lyapunov exponent λ 1 provides the very definition of deterministic chaos in
the solutions of a dynamical system; however, no theoretical mean of predicting its value …

Weak and strong chaos in Fermi–Pasta–Ulam models and beyond

M Pettini, L Casetti, M Cerruti-Sola… - … Journal of Nonlinear …, 2005 - pubs.aip.org
We briefly review some of the most relevant results that our group obtained in the past, while
investigating the dynamics of the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam (FPU) models. The first result is the …

Jacobi stability analysis of the Lorenz system

T Harko, CY Ho, CS Leung, S Yip - International Journal of …, 2015 - World Scientific
We perform the study of the stability of the Lorenz system by using the Jacobi stability
analysis, or the Kosambi–Cartan–Chern (KCC) theory. The Lorenz model plays an important …

Chaotic behavior, collective modes, and self-trap** in the dynamics of three coupled Bose-Einstein condensates

R Franzosi, V Penna - Physical Review E, 2003 - APS
The dynamics of the three coupled bosonic wells (trimer) containing N bosons is
investigated within a standard (mean-field) semiclassical picture based on the coherent …

Gaussian model for chaotic instability of Hamiltonian flows

L Casetti, R Livi, M Pettini - Physical review letters, 1995 - APS
A general method to describe Hamiltonian chaos in the thermodynamic limit is presented
which is based on a model equation independent of the dynamics. This equation is derived …

Analytic estimation of the Lyapunov exponent in a mean-field model undergoing a phase transition

MC Firpo - Physical Review E, 1998 - APS
The parametric instability contribution to the largest Lyapunov exponent λ 1 is derived for a
mean-field Hamiltonian model, with attractive long-range interactions. This uses a recent …
