Book excerpt: This book deals with waves in lattices composed of particles interacting by nonlinear forces. Since motion in a lattice with exponential interac tion between nearest neighbors can be analyzed rigorously, it is treated as the central subject to be discussed. From the idea that the fundamentals of the mathematical methods for nonlinear lattices would be elucidated by rigorous results, I was led in 1966 to the lattice with exponential interaction, which has since proved to be a subject of intensive investigation by many researchers. Therefore I have tried to describe the development of the study of this lattice. The presentation is intended to be coherent and self-contained. Chapter 1 starts with a rather historical exposition, and deals with the motion in the lattices and in continuous systems in general. Funda mental concepts necessary for later chapters, including the partic1elike behavior of stable pulses (solitons), the most characteristic entities of the nonlinear waves, are introduced. The dual transformation, which exchanges the roles of particles and interaction, is described for devel opment in the next chapter.

Download or read book Theory and Applications of Coupled Map Lattices written by K. Kaneko and published by . This book was released on 1993-04-13 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technique of the coupled map lattice (CML) is a rapidly developing field in nonlinear dynamics at present. This book gives a fully illustrative overview of current research in the field. A CML is a dynamical system in which there is some interaction ('coupled') between continuous state elements, which evolve in discrete time ('map') and are distributed on a discrete space ('lattice'). This book investigates both the theoretical aspects and applications of CMLs to spatially extended systems in nonlinear dynamical systems.

Download or read book Perspectives of Nonlinear Dynamics Volume 1 written by E. Atlee Jackson and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1989 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dynamics of physical, chemical, biological, or fluid systems generally must be described by nonlinear models, whose detailed mathematical solutions are not obtainable. To understand some aspects of such dynamics, various complementary methods and viewpoints are of crucial importance. In this book the perspectives generated by analytical, topological and computational methods, and interplays between them, are developed in a variety of contexts. This book is a comprehensive introduction to this field, suited to a broad readership, and reflecting a wide range of applications. Some of the concepts considered are: topological equivalence; embeddings; dimensions and fractals; Poincaré maps and map-dynamics; empirical computational sciences vis-á-vis mathematics; Ulam's synergetics; Turing's instability and dissipative structures; chaos; dynamic entropies; Lorenz and Rossler models; predator-prey and replicator models; FPU and KAM phenomena; solitons and nonsolitons; coupled maps and pattern dynamics; cellular automata.

Download or read book Nonlinear Periodic Waves and Their Modulations written by Anatoli? Mikha?lovich Kamchatnov and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the mathematical theory of nonlinear waves and solitons has made great progress, its applications to concrete physical problems are rather poor, especially when compared with the classical theory of linear dispersive waves and nonlinear fluid motion. The Whitham method, which describes the combining action of the dispersive and nonlinear effects as modulations of periodic waves, is not widely used by applied mathematicians and physicists, though it provides a direct and natural way to treat various problems in nonlinear wave theory. Therefore it is topical to describe recent developments of the Whitham theory in a clear and simple form suitable for applications in various branches of physics.This book develops the techniques of the theory of nonlinear periodic waves at elementary level and in great pedagogical detail. It provides an introduction to a Whitham's theory of modulation in a form suitable for applications. The exposition is based on a thorough analysis of representative examples taken from fluid mechanics, nonlinear optics and plasma physics rather than on the formulation and study of a mathematical theory. Much attention is paid to physical motivations of the mathematical methods developed in the book. The main applications considered include the theory of collisionless shock waves in dispersive systems and the nonlinear theory of soliton formation in modulationally unstable systems. Exercises are provided to amplify the discussion of important topics such as singular perturbation theory, Riemann invariants, the finite gap integration method, and Whitham equations and their solutions.

Download or read book Waves Called Solitons written by Michel Remoissenet and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encouraged by the friendly reception given to the first edition, I have preserved its basic form and most of the details. Apart from some corrections, minor changes, and addition of references where it was necessary, I have made the following changes. Chapter 1 was expanded by a discussion of the discovery of soli tons in the field of electromagnetic waves and optics. A new section devoted to nonlinear transmission lines and their applications in the microwave range has been added to Chap. 3. It seems to me that it was important to describe laboratory experiments on modulational instability, and subsequent generation of solitons, both in electrical transmission lines and in deep water in Chaps. 4 and 5. A description of a very simple experimental pocket version of the mechanical transmission line has been included in Chap. 6. Such a versatile and useful device should stimulate a practical approach to soli ton physics. Chapter 7 was completed by a short presentation of some recent experimental results on discrete Josephson transmission lines. A discussion of the experimental modulational instability of coupled optical waves and a simple look at quantum solitons were added to Chap. 8 in order to introduce the reader to such remarkable topics. Of the many people who made valuable comments on the first edition, I am particularly grateful to M. Dragoman, Y. S. Kivshar and A. W. Snyder. I would like to thank R. S. MacKay whose corrections and suggestions helped refine the manuscript of this second edition.

Download or read book Nonlinear Lattice Statistical Mechanics written by Zene Horii and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2007-03-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistical mechanics involves two universes at linear and nonlinear regimes. One is the Liouville universe at the linear range. The other is the Toda universe at the nonlinear range. For the universes, the above basic concept is well satisfied. Randon states in the Liouville universe, where degrees of freedom in kinetics are extremely high, become, if the exponential interactive potential energy between two nearest neighbor particles are introduced, a deterministic system in the Toda universe, whcih is subordinated to the nonlinear wave theory. The degrees of freedom in the motions are reduced by the constraints due to the potential energy.
