In contrary to other 1D momentum-conserving lattices such as the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam $beta$ (FPU-$beta$) lattice, the 1D coupled rotator lattice is a notable exception which conserves total momentum while exhibits normal heat conduction behavior. The temperature behavior of the thermal conductivities of 1D coupled rotator lattice had been studied in previous works trying to reveal the underlying physical mechanism for normal heat conduction. However, two different temperature behaviors of thermal conductivities have been claimed for the same coupled rotator lattice. These different temperature behaviors also intrigue the debate whether there is a phase transition of thermal conductivities as the function of temperature. In this work, we will revisit the temperature dependent thermal conductivities for the 1D coupled rotator lattice. We find that the temperature dependence follows a power law behavior which is different with the previously found temperature behaviors. Our results also support the claim that there is no phase transition for 1D coupled rotator lattice. We also give some discussion about the similarity of diffusion behaviors between the 1D coupled rotator lattice and the single kicked rotator also called the Chirikov standard map.
Thermal conductance of a homogeneous 1D nonlinear lattice system with neareast neighbor interactions has recently been computationally studied in detail by Li et al [Eur. Phys. J. B {bf 88}, 182 (2015)], where its power-law dependence on temperature $T$ for high temperatures is shown. Here, we address its entire temperature dependence, in addition to its dependence on the size $N$ of the system. We obtain a neat data collapse for arbitrary temperatures and system sizes, and numerically show that the thermal conductance curve is quite satisfactorily described by a fat-tailed $q$-Gaussian dependence on $TN^{1/3}$ with $q simeq 1.55$. Consequently, its $T toinfty$ asymptotic behavior is given by $T^{-alpha}$ with $alpha=2/(q-1) simeq 3.64$.
Universal scaling laws form one of the central issues in physics. A non-standard scaling law or a breakdown of a standard scaling law, on the other hand, can often lead to the finding of a new universality class in physical systems. Recently, we found that a statistical quantity related to fluctuations follows a non-standard scaling law with respect to system size in a synchronized state of globally coupled non-identical phase oscillators [Nishikawa et al., Chaos $boldsymbol{22}$, 013133 (2012)]. However, it is still unclear how widely this non-standard scaling law is observed. In the present paper, we discuss the conditions required for the unusual scaling law in globally coupled oscillator systems, and we validate the conditions by numerical simulations of several different models.
The standard map, paradigmatic conservative system in the $(x,p)$ phase space, has been recently shown to exhibit interesting statistical behaviors directly related to the value of the standard map parameter $K$. A detailed numerical description is achieved in the present paper. More precisely, for large values of $K$, the Lyapunov exponents are neatly positive over virtually the entire phase space, and, consistently with Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistics, we verify $q_{text{ent}}=q_{text{sen}}=q_{text{stat}}=q_{text{rel}}=1$, where $q_{text{ent}}$ is the $q$-index for which the nonadditive entropy $S_q equiv k frac{1-sum_{i=1}^W p_i^q}{q-1}$ (with $S_1=S_{BG} equiv -ksum_{i=1}^W p_i ln p_i$) grows linearly with time before achieving its $W$-dependent saturation value; $q_{text{sen}}$ characterizes the time increase of the sensitivity $xi$ to the initial conditions, i.e., $xi sim e_{q_{text{sen}}}^{lambda_{q_{text{sen}}} ,t};(lambda_{q_{text{sen}}}>0)$, where $e_q^z equiv[1+(1-q)z]^{1/(1-q)}$; $q_{text{stat}}$ is the index associated with the $q_{text{stat}}$-Gaussian distribution of the time average of successive iterations of the $x$-coordinate; finally, $q_{text{rel}}$ characterizes the $q_{text{rel}}$-exponential relaxation with time of the entropy $S_{q_{text{ent}}}$ towards its saturation value. In remarkable contrast, for small values of $K$, the Lyapunov exponents are virtually zero over the entire phase space, and, consistently with $q$-statistics, we verify $q_{text{ent}}=q_{text{sen}}=0$, $q_{text{stat}} simeq 1.935$, and $q_{text{rel}} simeq1.4$. The situation corresponding to intermediate values of $K$, where both stable orbits and a chaotic sea are present, is discussed as well. The present results transparently illustrate when BG or $q$-statistical behavior are observed.
We investigate the time evolution of the entropy for a paradigmatic conservative dynamical system, the standard map, for different values of its controlling parameter $a$. When the phase space is sufficiently ``chaotic (i.e., for large $|a|$), we reproduce previous results. For small values of $|a|$, when the phase space becomes an intricate structure with the coexistence of chaotic and regular regions, an anomalous regime emerges. We characterize this anomalous regime with the generalized nonextensive entropy, and we observe that for values of $a$ approaching zero, it lasts for an increasingly large time. This scenario displays a striking analogy with recent observations made in isolated classical long-range $N$-body Hamiltonians, where, for a large class of initial conditions, a metastable state (whose duration diverges with $1/Nto 0$) is observed before it crosses over to the usual, Boltzmann-Gibbs regime.
We numerically study the two-dimensional, area preserving, web map. When the map is governed by ergodic behavior, it is, as expected, correctly described by Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics, based on the additive entropic functional $S_{BG}[p(x)] = -kint dx,p(x) ln p(x)$. In contrast, possible ergodicity breakdown and transitory sticky dynamical behavior drag the map into the realm of generalized $q$-statistics, based on the nonadditive entropic functional $S_q[p(x)]=kfrac{1-int dx,[p(x)]^q}{q-1}$ ($q in {cal R}; S_1=S_{BG}$). We statistically describe the system (probability distribution of the sum of successive iterates, sensitivity to the initial condition, and entropy production per unit time) for typical values of the parameter that controls the ergodicity of the map. For small (large) values of the external parameter $K$, we observe $q$-Gaussian distributions with $q=1.935dots$ (Gaussian distributions), like for the standard map. In contrast, for intermediate values of $K$, we observe a different scenario, due to the fractal structure of the trajectories embedded in the chaotic sea. Long-standing non-Gaussian distributions are characterized in terms of the kurtosis and the box-counting dimension of chaotic sea.
