In recent years, statistical characterization of the discrete conservative dynamical systems (more precisely, paradigmatic examples of area-preserving maps such as the standard and the web maps) has been analyzed extensively and shown that, for larger parameter values for which the Lyapunov exponents are largely positive over the entire phase space, the probability distribution is a Gaussian, consistent with Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistics. On the other hand, for smaller parameter values for which the Lyapunov exponents are virtually zero over the entire phase space, we verify this distribution appears to approach a $q$-Gaussian (with $q simeq 1.935$), consistent with $q$-statistics. Interestingly, if the parameter values are in between these two extremes, then the probability distributions happen to exhibit a linear combination of these two behaviours. Here, we numerically show that the Harper map is also in the same universality class of the maps discussed so far. This constitutes one more evidence on the robustness of this behavior whenever the phase space consists of stable orbits. Then, we propose a generalization of the standard map for which the phase space includes many sticky regions, changing the previously observed simple linear combination behavior to a more complex combination.
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.
We examine the question of the influence of sparse long-range communications on the synchronization in parallel discrete event simulations (PDES). We build a model of the evolution of local virtual times (LVT) in a conservative algorithm including several choices of local links. All network realizations belong to the small-world network class. We find that synchronization depends on the average shortest path of the network. The time profile dynamics are similar to the surface profile growth, which helps to analyze synchronization effects using a statistical physics approach. Without long-range links of the nodes, the model belongs to the universality class of the Kardar--Parisi--Zhang equation for surface growth. We find that the critical exponents depend logarithmically on the fraction of long-range links. We present the results of simulations and discuss our observations.
In complex systems such as spin systems and protein systems, conventional simulations in the canonical ensemble will get trapped in states of energy local minima. We employ the generalized-ensemble algorithms in order to overcome this multiple-minima problem. Three well-known generalized-ensemble algorithms, namely, multicanonical algorithm, simulated tempering, and replica-exchange method, are described. We then present three new generalized-ensemble algorithms based on the combinations of the three methods. Effectiveness of the new methods are tested with a Potts model and protein systems.
We show that the one dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrodinger chain (DNLS) at finite temperature has three different dynamical regimes (ultra-low, low and high temperature regimes). This has been established via (i) one point macroscopic thermodynamic observables (temperature $T$ , energy density $epsilon$ and the relationship between them), (ii) emergence and disappearance of an additional almost conserved quantity (total phase difference) and (iii) classical out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOC) and related quantities (butterfly speed and Lyapunov exponents). The crossover temperatures $T_{textit{l-ul}}$ (between low and ultra-low temperature regimes) and $T_{textit{h-l}}$ (between high and low temperature regimes) extracted from these three different approaches are consistent with each other. The analysis presented here is an important step forward towards the understanding of DNLS which is ubiquitous in many fields and has a non-separable Hamiltonian form. Our work also shows that the different methods used here can serve as important tools to identify dynamical regimes in other interacting many body systems.
The dynamics of coupled 2D chaotic maps with time-delay on a scalefree-tree is studied, with different types of the collective behaviors already been reported for various values of coupling strength [1]. In this work we focus on the dynamics time-evolution at the coupling strength of the stability threshold and examine the properties of the regularization process. The time-scales involved in the appearance of the regular state and the periodic state are determined. We find unexpected regularity in the the systems final steady state: all the period values turn out to be integer multiples of one among given numbers. Moreover, the period value distribution follows a power-law with a slope of -2.24.
