Abstract: The Alpha version of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam problem is revisited through direct numerical simulations and an application of weak turbulence theory. The energy spectrum, initialized with a large scale excitation, is traced through a series of distinct qualitative phases en route to eventual equipartition. Weak turbulence theory is applied in an attempt to provide and effective quantitative description of the evolution of the energy spectrum. Some scaling predictions are well-confirmed byt the numerical simulations.

Review text

The authors revisit the alpha version of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model applying the weak turbulence theory and making direct numerical simulations. The energy spectrum, initialized with a large scale excitation, is traced through a series of distinct qualitative phases ``en route to eventual equipartition. Weak turbulence theory is applied in an attempt to provide an effective quantitative description of the evolution of the energy spectrum. Some scaling predictions are well-confirmed by the numerical simulations.
