Statistical characterization of the standard map


الملخص بالإنكليزية

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.
