Microscopic Chaos, Fractals and Transport in Nonequilibrium by Rainer Klages

By Rainer Klages

A priceless creation for newbies in addition to a major reference and resource of concept for verified researchers, this publication offers an up to date precis of relevant issues within the box of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and dynamical platforms thought. figuring out macroscopic homes of subject ranging from microscopic chaos within the equations of movement of unmarried atoms or molecules is a key challenge in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Of specific curiosity either for concept and purposes are shipping approaches reminiscent of diffusion, response, conduction and viscosity. contemporary advances in the direction of a deterministic concept of nonequilibrium statistical physics are summarized: either Hamiltonian dynamical structures less than nonequilibrium boundary stipulations and non-Hamiltonian modelings of nonequilibrium regular states through the use of thermal reservoirs are thought of. The striking new effects comprise shipping coefficients which are fractal capabilities of regulate parameters, basic relatives among delivery coefficients and chaos amounts, and an figuring out of nonequilibrium entropy construction by way of fractal measures and attractors. the speculation is especially important for the outline of many-particle platforms with homes in-between traditional thermodynamics and nonlinear technology, as they're often encountered on nanoscales.

Example text

Defining M (x) together with Eq. 1) yields the full microscopic equations of motion of the system. Note that this way the complete memory of a particle is taken into account, that is, all steps are fully correlated. The decisive new fact that distinguishes this dynamical process from the one of a simple uncorrelated random walk is hence that xn+1 is uniquely determined by xn , rather than having a random distribution of xn+1 for a given xn . If the resulting dynamics of an ensemble of particles, each governed by the same deterministic dynamical system M (x), has the property that a diffusion coefficient D exists, this process is called deterministic diffusion [Fuj82; Gei82; Sch82].

1. Markov partition method: In Chapter 2 we have computed the diffusion coefficient D as a function of the slope a for our map Ma,b specialized to the case b = 0. Here the fact has been used that for parameters where a Markov partition for the given map exists, the topological transition matrix of Eq. 12) can be constructed in a straightforward way. Thus, the applicability of this method, which we call the Markov partition method, depends, firstly, on whether a Markov partition exists or not; secondly, on whether these partitions are dense in the parameter space; and thirdly, on whether the quantity to be calculated is continuous in the parameters.

The main idea is that the Frobenius-Perron equation can be written as a matrix equation whenever the parameters of the map are such that one can construct a Markov partition of the interval (0, L). A Markov partition has the property that parts of the partion get mapped onto parts of the partition, or onto unions of parts of the partition [Rue89; dM93; Bec93].
