    AbstractWe investigate mappings of the form g = ƒA where ƒ is a cyclically monotonous mapping of finite range and A is a linear mapping given by a symmetric matrix. We give some upper bounds on the pre-period of g, i.e. the maximum q for which all g(x),g2(x),…,gq(x) are distinct

    The effect of temperature on generic stable periodic structures in the parameter space of dissipative relativistic standard map

    In this work, we have characterized changes in the dynamics of a two-dimensional relativistic standard map in the presence of dissipation and specially when it is submitted to thermal effects modeled by a Gaussian noise reservoir. By the addition of thermal noise in the dissipative relativistic standard map (DRSM) it is possible to suppress typical stable periodic structures (SPSs) embedded in the chaotic domains of parameter space for large enough temperature strengths. Smaller SPSs are first affected by thermal effects, starting from their borders, as a function of temperature. To estimate the necessary temperature strength capable to destroy those SPSs we use the largest Lyapunov exponent to obtain the critical temperature (TCT_C) diagrams. For critical temperatures the chaotic behavior takes place with the suppression of periodic motion, although, the temperature strengths considered in this work are not so large to convert the deterministic features of the underlying system into a stochastic ones.Comment: 8 pages and 7 figures, accepted to publication in EPJ

    Opportunity for Regulating the Collective Effect of Random Expansion with Manifestations of Finite Size Effects in a Moderate Number of Finite Systems

    Full text link
    One reports computational study revealing a set of general requirements, fulfilling of which would allow employing changes in ambient conditions to regulate accomplishing the collective outcome of emerging active network patterns in an ensemble of a moderate number of finite discrete systems. The patterns within all these component systems emerge out of random expansion process governed by certain local rule. The systems modeled are of the same type but different in details, finite discrete spatial domains of the expansion within the systems are equivalent regular hexagonal arrays. The way in which elements of a component system function in the local information transmission allows dividing them into two classes. One class is represented by zero-dimensional entities coupled into pairs identified at the array sites being nearest neighbors. The pairs preserve their orientation in the space while experiencing conditional hopping to positions close by and transferring certain information portions. Messenger particles hopping to signal the pairs for the conditional jumping constitute the other class. Contribution from the hopping pairs results in finite size effects being specific feature of accomplishing the mean expected network pattern representing the collective outcome. It is shown how manifestations of the finite size effects allow using changes in parameters of the model ambient conditions of the ensemble evolution to regulate accomplishing the collective outcome representation.Comment: 22 pages, 10 eps figures, corrected URL address placing in text, minor editorial correction in sec.2, author e-mail change

    Dynamical Tide in Solar-Type Binaries

    Circularization of late-type main-sequence binaries is usually attributed to turbulent convection, while that of early-type binaries is explained by resonant excitation of g modes. We show that the latter mechanism operates in solar-type stars also and is at least as effective as convection, despite inefficient damping of g modes in the radiative core. The maximum period at which this mechanism can circularize a binary composed of solar-type stars in 10 Gyr is as low as 3 days, if the modes are damped by radiative diffusion only and g-mode resonances are fixed; or as high as 6 days, if one allows for evolution of the resonances and for nonlinear damping near inner turning points. Even the larger theoretical period falls short of the observed transition period by a factor two.Comment: 17 pages, 2 postscript figures, uses aaspp4.sty. Submitted to Ap

    Non-equilibrium steady state in a periodically driven Kondo model

    Get PDF
    We investigate the Kondo model with time-dependent couplings that are periodically switched on and off. On the Toulouse line we derive exact analytical results for the spin dynamics in the steady state that builds up after an infinite number of switching periods. Remarkably, the algebraic long time behavior of the spin-spin correlation function remains completely unaffected by the driving. In the limit of slow driving the dynamics become equivalent to that of a single interaction quench. In the limit of fast driving one can show that the steady state cannot be described by some effective equilibrium Hamiltonian since a naive implementation of the Trotter formula gives wrong results. As a consequence, the steady state in the limit of fast switching serves as an example for the emergence of new quantum states not accessible in equilibrium.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures; minor changes, version as publishe
