Statistical characterization of the standard map

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The standard map, paradigmatic conservative system in the (x,p) phase space, has been recently shown to exhibit interesting statistical behaviors directly related to the value of the standard map parameter K. A detailed numerical description is achieved in the present paper. More precisely, for large values of K, the Lyapunov exponents are neatly positive over virtually the entire phase space, and, consistently with Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistics, we verify qextent=qextsen=qextstat=qextrel=1, where qextent is the q-index for which the nonadditive entropy Sqequivkfrac1sumi=1Wpiqq1 (with S1=SBGequivksumi=1Wpilnpi) grows linearly with time before achieving its W-dependent saturation value; qextsen characterizes the time increase of the sensitivity xi to the initial conditions, i.e., xisimeqextsenlambdaqextsen,t;(lambdaqextsen>0), where eqzequiv[1+(1q)z]1/(1q); qextstat is the index associated with the qextstat-Gaussian distribution of the time average of successive iterations of the x-coordinate; finally, qextrel characterizes the qextrel-exponential relaxation with time of the entropy Sqextent towards its saturation value. In remarkable contrast, for small values of K, the Lyapunov exponents are virtually zero over the entire phase space, and, consistently with q-statistics, we verify qextent=qextsen=0, qextstatsimeq1.935, and qextrelsimeq1.4. The situation corresponding to intermediate values of K, where both stable orbits and a chaotic sea are present, is discussed as well. The present results transparently illustrate when BG or q-statistical behavior are observed.
