Symplectic maps, variational principles, and transport

JD Meiss - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1992 - APS
Symplectic maps are the discrete-time analog of Hamiltonian motion. They arise in many
applications including accelerator, chemical, condensed-matter, plasma, and fluid physics …

[HTML][HTML] Is there chaos in the brain? II. Experimental evidence and related models

H Korn, P Faure - Comptes rendus biologies, 2003 - Elsevier

Probability of second law violations in shearing steady states

DJ Evans, EGD Cohen, GP Morriss - Physical review letters, 1993 - APS
We propose a new definition of natural invariant measure for trajectory segments of finite
duration for a many-particle system. On this basis we give an expression for the probability …

[ΒΙΒΛΙΟ][B] Statistical mechanics of nonequilbrium liquids

DJ Evans, GP Morriss - 2007 - library.oapen.org
During the 1980's there were many developments regarding the nonequilibrium statistical
mechanics of dense classical atomic fluids. These developments have had a major impact …

Equilibrium microstates which generate second law violating steady states

DJ Evans, DJ Searles - Physical Review E, 1994 - APS
For reversible deterministic N-particle thermostatted systems, we examine the question of
why it is so difficult to find initial microstates that will, at long times under the influence of an …

[ΒΙΒΛΙΟ][B] From simple to complex

Synchronization: From Simple to Complex is devoted to the fundamental phenomenon in
physics–synchronization that occurs in coupled non-linear dissipative oscillators. Examples …

[ΒΙΒΛΙΟ][B] Positive transfer operators and decay of correlations

V Baladi - 2000 - books.google.com
Although individual orbits of chaotic dynamical systems are by definition unpredictable, the
average behavior of typical trajectories can often be given a precise statistical description …

Turbulence transition in pipe flow

B Eckhardt, TM Schneider, B Hof… - Annu. Rev. Fluid …, 2007 - annualreviews.org
Pipe flow is a prominent example among the shear flows that undergo transition to
turbulence without mediation by a linear instability of the laminar profile. Experiments on …
