The sensitivity to initial conditions and relaxation dynamics of two-dimensional maps are analyzed at the edge of chaos, along the lines of nonextensive statistical mechanics. We verify the dual nature of the entropic index for the Henon map, one ($q_{sen}<1$) related to its sensitivity to initial conditions properties, and the other, graining-dependent ($q_{rel}(W)>1$), related to its relaxation dynamics towards its stationary state attractor. We also corroborate a scaling law between these two indexes, previously found for $z$-logistic maps. Finally we perform a preliminary analysis of a linearized version of the Henon map (the smoothed Lozi map). We find that the sensitivity properties of all these $z$-logistic, Henon and Lozi maps are the same, $q_{sen}=0.2445...$

We consider biological evolution as described within the Bak and Sneppen 1993 model. We exhibit, at the self-organized critical state, a power-law sensitivity to the initial conditions, calculate the associated exponent, and relate it to the recently introduced nonextensive thermostatistics. The scenario which here emerges without tuning strongly reminds that of the tuned onset of chaos in say logistic-like onedimensional maps. We also calculate the dynamical exponent z.
The short-time and long-time dynamics of the Bak-Sneppen model of biological evolution are investigated using the damage spreading technique. By defining a proper Hamming distance measure, we are able to make it exhibits an initial power-law growth which, for finite size systems, is followed by a decay towards equilibrium. In this sense, the dynamics of self-organized critical states is shown to be similar to the one observed at the usual critical point of continuous phase-transitions and at the onset of chaos of non-linear low-dimensional dynamical maps. The transient, pre-asymptotic and asymptotic exponential relaxation of the Hamming distance between two initially uncorrelated equilibrium configurations is also shown to be fitted within a single mathematical framework. A connection with nonextensive statistical mechanics is exhibited.
We introduce a new universality class of one-dimensional unimodal dissipative maps. The new family, from now on referred to as the ($z_1,z_2$)-{it logarithmic map}, corresponds to a generalization of the $z$-logistic map. The Feigenbaum-like constants of these maps are determined. It has been recently shown that the probability density of sums of iterates at the edge of chaos of the $z$-logistic map is numerically consistent with a $q$-Gaussian, the distribution which, under appropriate constraints, optimizes the nonadditive entropy $S_q$. We focus here on the presently generalized maps to check whether they constitute a new universality class with regard to $q$-Gaussian attractor distributions. We also study the generalized $q$-entropy production per unit time on the new unimodal dissipative maps, both for strong and weak chaotic cases. The $q$-sensitivity indices are obtained as well. Our results are, like those for the $z$-logistic maps, numerically compatible with the $q$-generalization of a Pesin-like identity for ensemble averages.
Since the Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory is mathematically formulated through non-linear coupled time-dependent 3-dimensional partial differential equations it is natural to expect a strong sensitivity of its solutions to variations of the initial conditions, akin to the butterfly effect ubiquitous in classical dynamics. Since the Schrodinger equation for an interacting many-body system is however linear and (mathematically) the exact equations of the Density Functional Theory reproduce the corresponding one-body properties, it would follow that the Lyapunov exponents are also vanishing within a Density Functional Theory framework. Whether for realistic implementations of the Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory the question of absence of the butterfly effect and whether the dynamics provided is indeed a predictable theory was never discussed. At the same time, since the time-dependent density functional theory is a unique tool allowing us the study of non-equilibrium dynamics of strongly interacting many-fermion systems, the question of predictability of this theoretical framework is of paramount importance. Our analysis, for a number of quantum superfluid any-body systems (unitary Fermi gas, nuclear fission, and heavy-ion collisions) with a classical equivalent number of degrees of freedom ${cal O}(10^{10})$ and larger, suggests that its maximum Lyapunov are negligible for all practical purposes.
We characterize the universal far-from-equilibrium dynamics of the isolated two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg model. For a broad range of initial conditions, we find a long-lived universal prethermal regime characterized by self-similar behavior of spin-spin correlations. We analytically derive the spatial-temporal scaling exponents and find excellent agreement with numerics using phase space methods. The scaling exponents are insensitive to the choice of initial conditions, which include coherent and incoherent spin states as well as values of magnetization and energy in a wide range. Compared to previously studied self-similar dynamics in non-equilibrium $O(n)$ field theories and Bose gases, we find qualitatively distinct scaling behavior originating from the presence of spin modes which remain gapless at long times and which are protected by the global SU(2) symmetry. Our predictions, which suggest a new non-equilibrium universality class, are readily testable in ultra-cold atoms simulators of Heisenberg magnets.
