Canonical dynamics of the Nosé oscillator: Stability, order, and chaos
Abstract
Nos\'e has developed many-body equations of motion designed to reproduce Gibbs's canonical phase-space distribution. These equations of motion have a Hamiltonian basis and are accordingly time reversible and deterministic. They include thermodynamic temperature control through a single deterministic friction coefficient, which can be thought of as a control variable or as a memory function. We apply Nos\'e's ideas to a single classical one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. This relatively simple system exhibits both regular and chaotic dynamical trajectories, depending on the initial conditions. We explore here the nature of these solutions by estimating their fractal dimensionality and Lyapunov instability. The Nos\'e oscillator is a borderline case, not sufficiently chaotic for a fully statistical description. We suggest that the behavior of only slightly more complicated systems is considerably simpler and in accord with statistical mechanics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
