Hydrodynamic limit for a disordered harmonic chain (Q1710465): Difference between revisions

The authors consider a one-dimensional unpinned chain of harmonic oscillators with random masses. It is shown that ergodicity is not in general a necessary assumption for Euler equations to hold. The authors proved the convergence to Euler equations for the disordered harmonic chain, almost surely with respect to the masses and on average with respect to an initial local Gibbs state.
