We consider a diatomic chain characterized by a cubic anharmonic potential. After diagonalizing the harmonic case, we study in the new canonical variables, the nonlinear interactions between the acoustical and optical branches of the dispersion relation. Using the {it wave turbulence} approach, we formally derive two coupled wave kinetic equations, each describing the evolution of the wave action spectral density associated to each branch. An $H$-theorem shows that there exist an irreversible transfer of energy that leads to an equilibrium solution characterized by the equipartition of energy in the new variables. While in the monoatomic cubic chain, in the large box limit, the main nonlinear transfer mechanism is based on four-wave resonant interactions, the diatomic one is ruled by a three wave resonant process (two acoustical and one optical wave): thermalization happens on shorter time scale for the diatomic chain with respect to the standard chain. Resonances are possible only if the ratio between the heavy and light masses is less than 3. Numerical simulations of the deterministic equations support our theoretical findings.

We generalize the rejection-free event-chain Monte Carlo algorithm from many particle systems with pairwise interactions to systems with arbitrary three- or many-particle interactions. We introduce generalized lifting probabilities between particles and obtain a general set of equations for lifting probabilities, the solution of which guarantees maximal global balance. We validate the resulting three-particle event-chain Monte Carlo algorithms on three different systems by comparison with conventional local Monte Carlo simulations: (i) a test system of three particles with a three-particle interaction that depends on the enclosed triangle area; (ii) a hard-needle system in two dimensions, where needle interactions constitute three-particle interactions of the needle end points; (iii) a semiflexible polymer chain with a bending energy, which constitutes a three-particle interaction of neighboring chain beads. The examples demonstrate that the generalization to many-particle interactions broadens the applicability of event-chain algorithms considerably.
The Sagdeev-Zaslavski (SZ) equation for wave turbulence is analytically derived, both in terms of generating function and of multi-point pdf, for weakly interacting waves with initial random phases. When also initial amplitudes are random, the one-po int pdf equation is derived. Such analytical calculations remarkably agree with results obtained in totally different fashions. Numerical investigations of the two-dimensional nonlinear Schroedinger equation (NLSE) and of a vibrating plate prove that: (i) generic Hamiltonian 4-wave systems rapidly attain a random distribution of phases independently of the slower dynamics of the amplitudes, vindicating the hypothesis of initially random phases; (ii) relaxation of the Fourier amplitudes to the predicted stationary distribution (exponential) happens on a faster timescale than relaxation of the spectrum (Rayleigh-Jeans distribution); (iii) the pdf equation correctly describes dynamics under different forcings: the NLSE has an exponential pdf corresponding to a quasi-gaussian solution, like the vibrating plates, that also show some intermittency at very strong forcings.
The nonlinear dynamics of waves at the sea surface is believed to be ruled by the Weak Turbulence framework. In order to investigate the nonlinear coupling among gravity surface waves, we developed an experiment in the Coriolis facility which is a 13 -m diameter circular tank. An isotropic and statistically stationary wave turbulence of average steepness of 10% is maintained by two wedge wave makers. The space and time resolved wave elevation is measured using a stereoscopic technique. Wave-wave interactions are analyzed through third and fourth order correlations. We investigate specifically the role of bound waves generated by non resonant 3-wave coupling. Specifically, we implement a space-time filter to separate the dynamics of free waves (i.e. following the dispersion relation) from the bound waves. We observe that the free wave dynamics causes weak resonant 4-wave correlations. A weak level of correlation is actually the basis of the Weak Turbulence Theory. Thus our observations support the use of the Weak Turbulence to model gravity wave turbulence as is currently been done in the operational models of wave forecasting. Although in the theory bound waves are not supposed to contribute to the energy cascade, our observation raises the question of the impact of bound waves on dissipation and thus on energy transfers as well.
In this paper, we discuss the emergence of extreme events in a parametrically driven non-polynomial mechanical system with a velocity-dependent potential. We confirm the occurrence of extreme events from the probability distribution function of the p eaks, which exhibits a long-tail. We also present the mechanism for the occurrence of extreme events. We found that the probability of occurrence of extreme events alternatively increase and decrease with a brief region where the probability is zero. At the point of highest probability of extreme events, when the system is driven externally, we find that the probability decreases to zero. Our investigation confirms that the external drive can be used as an useful tool to mitigate extreme events in this nonlinear dynamical system. Through two parameter diagrams, we also demonstrate the regions where extreme events gets suppressed. In addition to the above, we show that extreme events persits when the sytem is influenced by noise and even gets transformed to super-extreme events when the state variable is influenced by noise.
Due to one of the most representative contributions to the energy in diatomic molecules being the vibrational, we consider the generalized Morse potential (GMP) as one of the typical potential of interaction for one-dimensional microscopic systems, w hich describes local anharmonic effects. From Eckart potential (EP) model, it is possible to find a connection with the GMP model, as well as obtain the analytical expression for the energy spectrum because it is based on $S,Oleft(2,1right)$ algebras. In this work we find the macroscopic properties such as vibrational mean energy $U$, specific heat $C$, Helmholtz free energy $F$ and entropy $S$ for a heteronuclear diatomic system, along with the exact partition function and its approximation for the high temperature region. Finally, we make a comparison between the graphs of some thermodynamic functions obtained with the GMP and the Morse potential (MP) for $H,Cl$ molecules.
