Nonlinear dynamics and fluctuations of dissipative Toda chains (Q5935854)

This paper deals with the study of dissipative Toda systems including active friction effects and the influence of noise. The authors study here only one-dimensional systems of \(N\) active Brownian particles with Toda interactions, which form a ring. The authors investigate the attractor structure for small and for large strength of pumping, illustrating the transition to a multistable attractor regime. By numerical integration of corresponding Langevin equations they find the time correlations of the force fluctuations and the power spectrum. Moreover the role of noise beyond the bifurcation point and in particular the destruction of the attractors of coherent motion is discussed.
