Application of the GALI method to localization dynamics in nonlinear systems

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We investigate localization phenomena and stability properties of quasiperiodic oscillations in N degree of freedom Hamiltonian systems and N coupled symplectic maps. In particular, we study an example of a parametrically driven Hamiltonian lattice with only quartic coupling terms and a system of N coupled standard maps. We explore their dynamics using the Generalized Alignment Index (GALI), which constitutes a recently developed numerical method for detecting chaotic orbits in many dimensions, estimating the dimensionality of quasiperiodic tori and predicting slow diffusion in a way that is faster and more reliable than many other approaches known to date.
