The chaotic low energy region of the Fermi-Ulam simplified accelerator model is characterised by use of scaling analysis. It is shown that the average velocity and the roughness (variance of the average velocity) obey scaling functions with the same characteristic exponents. The formalism is widely applicable, including to billiards and to other chaotic systems.

In systems of N coupled anharmonic oscillators, exact resonant interactions play an important role in the energy exchange between normal modes. In the weakly nonlinear regime, those interactions may facilitate energy equipartition in Fourier space. W
e consider analytically resonant wave-wave interactions for the celebrated Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) system. Using a number-theoretical approach based on cyclotomic polynomials, we show that the problem of finding exact resonances for a system of N particles is equivalent to a Diophantine equation whose solutions depend sensitively on the set of divisors of N. We provide an algorithm to construct all possible resonances, based on two methods: pairing-off and cyclotomic, which we introduce to build up explicit solutions to the 4-, 5- and 6-wave resonant conditions. Our results shed some light in the understanding of the long-standing FPUT paradox, regarding the sensitivity of the resonant manifolds with respect to the number of particles N and the corresponding time scale of the interactions leading to thermalisation. In this light we demonstrate that 6-wave resonances always exist for any N, while 5-wave resonances exist if N is divisible by 3 and N > 6. It is known (for finite N) that 4-wave resonances do not mix energy across the spectrum, so we investigate whether 5-wave resonances can produce energy mixing across a significant region of the Fourier spectrum by analysing the interconnected network of Fourier modes that can interact nonlinearly via resonances. The answer depends on the set of odd divisors of N that are not divisible by 3: the size of this set determines the number of dynamically independent components, corresponding to independent constants of motion (energies). We show that 6-wave resonances connect all these independent components, providing in principle a restoring mechanism for full-scale thermalisation.
We study the original $alpha$-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) system with $N=16,32$ and $64$ masses connected by a nonlinear quadratic spring. Our approach is based on resonant wave-wave interaction theory, i.e. we assume that, in the weakly nonlinear regime
(the one in which Fermi was originally interested), the large time dynamics is ruled by exact resonances. After a detailed analysis of the $alpha$-FPU equation of motion, we find that the first non trivial resonances correspond to six-wave interactions. Those are precisely the interactions responsible for the thermalization of the energy in the spectrum. We predict that for small amplitude random waves the time scale of such interactions is extremely large and it is of the order of $1/epsilon^8$, where $epsilon$ is the small parameter in the system. The wave-wave interaction theory is not based on any threshold: equipartition is predicted for arbitrary small nonlinearity. Our results are supported by extensive numerical simulations. A key role in our finding is played by the {it Umklapp} (flip over) resonant interactions, typical of discrete systems. The thermodynamic limit is also briefly discussed.
The dispersive interacting waves in Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chains of particles in textit{thermal equilibrium} are studied from both statistical and wave resonance perspectives. It is shown that, even in a strongly nonlinear regime, the chain in therm
al equilibrium can be effectively described by a system of weakly interacting textit{renormalized} nonlinear waves that possess (i) the Rayleigh-Jeans distribution and (ii) zero correlations between waves, just as noninteracting free waves would. This renormalization is achieved through a set of canonical transformations. The renormalized linear dispersion of these renormalized waves is obtained and shown to be in excellent agreement with numerical experiments. Moreover, a dynamical interpretation of the renormalization of the dispersion relation is provided via a self-consistency, mean-field argument. It turns out that this renormalization arises mainly from the trivial resonant wave interactions, i.e., interactions with no momentum exchange. Furthermore, using a multiple time-scale, statistical averaging method, we show that the interactions of near-resonant waves give rise to the broadening of the resonance peaks in the frequency spectrum of renormalized modes. The theoretical prediction for the resonance width for the thermalized $beta$-FPU chain is found to be in very good agreement with its numerically measured value.
Some scaling properties for classical light ray dynamics inside a periodically corrugated waveguide are studied by use of a simplified two-dimensional nonlinear area-preserving map. It is shown that the phase space is mixed. The chaotic sea is charac
terized using scaling arguments revealing critical exponents connected by an analytic relationship. The formalism is widely applicable to systems with mixed phase space, and especially in studies of the transition from integrability to non-integrability, including that in classical billiard problems.
A modification of the one-dimensional Fermi accelerator model is considered in this work. The dynamics of a classical particle of mass $m$, confined to bounce elastically between two rigid walls where one is described by a non-linear van der Pol type
oscillator while the other one is fixed, working as a re-injection mechanism of the particle for a next collision, is carefully made by the use of a two-dimensional non-linear mapping. Two cases are considered: (i) the situation where the particle has mass negligible as compared to the mass of the moving wall and does not affect the motion of it; (ii) the case where collisions of the particle does affect the movement of the moving wall. For case (i) the phase space is of mixed type leading us to observe a scaling of the average velocity as a function of the parameter ($c{hi}$) controlling the non-linearity of the moving wall. For large $c{hi}$, a diffusion on the velocity is observed leading us to conclude that Fermi acceleration is taking place. On the other hand for case (ii), the motion of the moving wall is affected by collisions with the particle. However due to the properties of the van der Pol oscillation, the moving wall relaxes again to a limit cycle. Such kind of motion absorbs part of the energy of the particle leading to a suppression of the unlimited energy gain as observed in case (i). The phase space shows a set of attractors of different periods whose basin of attraction has a complicate organization.
