The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam problem and its underlying integrable dynamics

G Benettin, H Christodoulidi, A Ponno - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2013 - Springer
This paper is devoted to a numerical study of the familiar α+ β FPU model. Precisely, we
here discuss, revisit and combine together two main ideas on the subject:(i) In the system, at …

Time-scales to equipartition in the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam problem: finite-size effects and thermodynamic limit

G Benettin, A Ponno - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2011 - Springer
We investigate numerically the common α+ β and the pure β FPU models, as well as some
higher order generalizations. We consider initial conditions in which only low-frequency …

Equilibration of quasi-integrable systems

T Goldfriend, J Kurchan - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
We study the slow relaxation of isolated quasi-integrable systems, focusing on the classical
problem of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPU) chain. It is well known that the initial energy …

Universal route to thermalization in weakly-nonlinear one-dimensional chains

L Pistone, S Chibbaro, M Bustamante, Y L'vov… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
We apply Wave Turbulence theory to describe the dynamics on nonlinear one-dimensional
chains. We consider $\alpha $ and $\beta $ Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) systems …

The Fermi–Pasta–Ulam problem and its underlying integrable dynamics: an approach through Lyapunov exponents

G Benettin, S Pasquali, A Ponno - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2018 - Springer
FPU models, in dimension one, are perturbations either of the linear model or of the Toda
model; perturbations of the linear model include the usual β β-model, perturbations of Toda …

[PDF][PDF] Understanding the FPU state in FPU–like models

G Benettin, A Ponno - Mathematics in Engineering, 2021 - research.unipd.it
Many papers investigated, in a variety of ways, the so-called “FPU state” in the Fermi-Pasta-
Ulam model, namely the state, intermediate between the initial state and equipartition, that …

Multistage slow relaxation in a Hamiltonian system: The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model

HJ Matsuyama, T Konishi - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
The relaxation process toward equipartition of energy among normal modes in a
Hamiltonian system with many degrees of freedom, the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) model is …

An extensive adiabatic invariant for the Klein–Gordon model in the thermodynamic limit

A Giorgilli, S Paleari, T Penati - Annales Henri Poincaré, 2015 - Springer
We construct an extensive adiabatic invariant for a Klein–Gordon chain in the
thermodynamic limit. In particular, given a fixed and sufficiently small value of the coupling …

Dynamical thermalization of Frenkel-Kontorova model in the thermodynamic limit

Z Zhang, C Tang, P Tong - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
We study numerically the process of dynamical thermalization in the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK)
model with weak nonlinearity. The total energy has initially equidistributed among some of …

An averaging theorem for FPU in the thermodynamic limit

A Maiocchi, D Bambusi, A Carati - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2014 - Springer
Consider an FPU chain composed of N ≫ 1 N≫ 1 particles, and endow the phase space
with the Gibbs measure corresponding to a small temperature β^-1 β-1. Given a fixed KK, we …
