(Note: this equation is not equivalent to the classical one given in the French version of the

article.)

|
This is just Newton's second law for the j-th particle. The first factor is just the usual Hooke's
|
5_48
|
law form for the force. The factor with is the nonlinear force. We can rewrite this in terms of
|
5_49
|
continuum quantities by defining to be the wave speed, where is the Young's modulus for the
|
5_50
|
string, and is the density:
|
5_51
|
Connection to the KdV equation
|
5_52
|
The continuum limit of the governing equations for the string (with the quadratic force term) is
|
5_53
|
the Korteweg–de Vries equation (KdV equation.) The discovery of this relationship and of the
|
5_54
|
soliton solutions of the KdV equation by Martin David Kruskal and Norman Zabusky in 1965 was an
|
5_55
|
important step forward in nonlinear system research. We reproduce below a derivation of this limit,
|
5_56
|
which is rather tricky, as found in Palais's article. Beginning from the "continuum form" of the
|
5_57
|
lattice equations above, we first define u(x, t) to be the displacement of the string at position x
|
5_58
|
and time t. We'll then want a correspondence so that is .
|
5_59
|
We can use Taylor's theorem to rewrite the second factor for small (subscripts of u denote partial
|
5_60
|
derivatives):
|
5_61
|
Similarly, the second term in the third factor is
Thus, the FPUT system is
|
5_62
|
If one were to keep terms up to O(h) only and assume that approaches a limit, the resulting
|
5_63
|
equation is one which develops shocks, which is not observed. Thus one keeps the O(h2) term as
|
5_64
|
well:
|
5_65
|
We now make the following substitutions, motivated by the decomposition of traveling-wave solutions
|
5_66
|
(of the ordinary wave equation, to which this reduces when vanish) into left- and right-moving
|
5_67
|
waves, so that we only consider a right-moving wave. Let . Under this change of coordinates, the
|
5_68
|
equation becomes
|
5_69
|
To take the continuum limit, assume that tends to a constant, and tend to zero. If we take , then
|
5_70
|
Taking results in the KdV equation:
|
5_71
|
Zabusky and Kruskal argued that it was the fact that soliton solutions of the KdV equation can pass
|
5_72
|
through one another without affecting the asymptotic shapes that explained the quasi-periodicity of
|
5_73
|
the waves in the FPUT experiment. In short, thermalization could not occur because of a certain
|
5_74
|
"soliton symmetry" in the system, which broke ergodicity.
|
5_75
|
A similar set of manipulations (and approximations) lead to the Toda lattice, which is also famous
|
5_76
|
for being a completely integrable system. It, too, has soliton solutions, the Lax pairs, and so
|
5_77
|
also can be used to argue for the lack of ergodicity in the FPUT model.
|
5_78
|
Routes to thermalization
|
5_79
|
In 1966, Izrailev and Chirikov proposed that the system will thermalize, if a sufficient amount of
|
5_80
|
initial energy is provided. The idea here is that the non-linearity changes the dispersion
|
5_81
|
relation, allowing resonant interactions to take place that will bleed energy from one mode to
|
5_82
|
another. A review of such models can be found in Livi et al. Yet, in 1970, Ford and Lunsford insist
|
5_83
|
that mixing can be observed even with arbitrarily small initial energies. There is a long and
|
5_84
|
complex history of approaches to the problem, see Dauxois (2008) for a (partial) survey.
|
5_85
|
Recent work by Onorato et al. demonstrates a very interesting route to thermalization. Rewriting
|
5_86
|
the FPUT model in terms of normal modes, the non-linear term expresses itself as a three-mode
|
5_87
|
interaction (using the language of statistical mechanics, this could be called a "three-phonon
|
5_88
|
interaction".) It is, however, not a resonant interaction, and is thus not able to spread energy
|
5_89
|
from one mode to another; it can only generate the FPUT recurrence. The three-phonon interaction
|
5_90
|
cannot thermalize the system.
|
5_91
|
A key insight, however, is that these modes are combinations of "free" and "bound" modes. That is,
|
5_92
|
higher harmonics are "bound" to the fundamental, much in the same way that the higher harmonics in
|
5_93
|
solutions to the KdV equation are bound to the fundamental. They do not have any dynamics of their
|
5_94
|
own, and are instead phase-locked to the fundamental. Thermalization, if present, can only be among
|
5_95
|
the free modes.
|
5_96
|
To obtain the free modes, a canonical transformation can be applied that removes all modes that are
|
5_97
|
not free (that do not engage in resonant interactions). Doing so for the FPUT system results in
|
5_98
|
oscillator modes that have a four-wave interaction (the three-wave interaction has been removed).
|
5_99
|
These quartets do interact resonantly, i.e. do mix together four modes at a time. Oddly, though,
|
5_100
|
when the FPUT chain has only 16, 32 or 64 nodes in it, these quartets are isolated from
|
5_101
|
one-another. Any given mode belongs to only one quartet, and energy cannot bleed from one quartet
|
5_102
|
to another. Continuing on to higher orders of interaction, there is a six-wave interaction that is
|
5_103
|
resonant; furthermore, every mode participates in at least two different six-wave interactions. In
|
5_104
|
other words, all of the modes become interconnected, and energy will transfer between all of the
|
5_105
|
different modes.
|
5_106
|
The three-wave interaction is of strength (the same as in prior sections, above). The four-wave
|
5_107
|
interaction is of strength and the six-wave interaction is of strength . Based on general
|
5_108
|
principles from correlation of interactions (stemming from the BBGKY hierarchy) one expects the
|
5_109
|
thermalization time to run as the square of the interaction. Thus, the original FPUT lattice (of
|
5_110
|
size 16, 32 or 64) will eventually thermalize, on a time scale of order : clearly, this becomes a
|
5_111
|
very long time for weak interactions ; meanwhile, the FPUT recurrence will appear to run unabated.
|
5_112
|
This particular result holds for these particular lattice sizes; the resonant four-wave or six-wave
|
5_113
|
interactions for different lattice sizes may or may not mix together modes (because the Brillouin
|
5_114
|
zones are of a different size, and so the combinatorics of which wave-vectors can sum to zero is
|
5_115
|
altered.) Generic procedures for obtaining canonical transformations that linearize away the bound
|
5_116
|
modes remain a topic of active research.

6_4
|
its Black residents. A local newspaper at the time was quoted as saying that "The community is

6_5
|
better off without them."
