Pattern selection and instability in nonlinear wave equation: an aspect of soliton and chaos

Conference Imada, M

Pattern selection problems are found in a variety of phenomena. Fluid dynamical systems and nonlinear diffusion phenomena give typical examples of pattern formation problems in dissipative systems. In some cases the dissipation reduces the effective dimension of the system, and this fact leads to several strikingly universal behaviors which were initially found in simple model systems with a few degrees of freedom. Nonlinear wave equations themselves, however, describes systems without dissipation in which the situation is more complicated. In spite of this complexity, many completely integrable systems are known in nonlinear wave equations, where neither ergodicity nor chaos is expected.more »« less

Pattern selection and low-dimensional chaos in systems of coupled nonlinear oscillators

Conference Bishop, A

The longtime behavior of a number of one- and two-dimensional driven, dissipative, dispersive, many-degree-of-freedom systems is studied. It is shown numerically that the attractors are characterized by strong mode-locking into a small number of (nonlinear) modes. On the basis of the observed profiles, estimates of chaotic attractor dimensions, and projections into nonlinear mode bases, it is argued that the same few modes may (in these extended systems) give a unified picture of spatial pattern selection, low-dimensional chaos, and coexisting coherence and chaos. Analytic approaches to this class of problem are summarized.

Statistical mechanics of nonlinear coherent structures: Kinks in the {Phi}{sup 6} model

Conference Habib, S ; Saxena, A

We study the thermodynamics of kinks in the {Phi}{sup 6} model using a Langevin code implemented on a massively parallel computer. This code can be used to study first order dynamical phase transitions which exhibit multiple length and time scales. The classical statistical mechanics of a 1 + 1-dimensional field theory reduces to a time-independent quantum problem in one dimension via the transfer integral method. Exact solutions of the Schroedinger equation exist for the {Phi}{sup 6} potential (unlike the case for {Phi}{sup 4}) and can be used to check results from the simulations. The {Phi}{sup 6} model is also muchmore »« less

Coherence and chaos in extended dynamical systems

Conference Bishop, A R

Coherence, chaos, and pattern formation are characteristic elements of the nonequilibrium statistical mechanics controlling mesoscopic order and disorder in many-degree-of-freedom nonlinear dynamical systems. Competing length scales and/or time scales are the underlying microscopic driving forces for many of these aspects of ``complexity.`` We illustrate the basic concepts with some model examples of classical and quantum, ordered and disordered, nonlinear systems.
