Ergodicity of One-dimensional Systems Coupled to the Logistic Thermostat

Tapias Diego, Bravetti Alessandro, Sanders David

We analyze the ergodicity of three one-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, with harmonic, quartic and Mexican-hat potentials, coupled to the logistic thermostat. As criteria for ergodicity we employ: the independence of the Lyapunov spectrum with respect to initial conditions; the absence of visual ...

Singly-Thermostated Ergodicity in Gibbs’ Canonical Ensemble and the 2016 Ian Snook Prize Award

Hoover Wm.G. , Hoover C.G.

The 2016 Snook Prize has been awarded to Diego Tapias, Alessandro Bravetti, and David Sanders for their paper “Ergodicity of One-Dimensional Systems Coupled to the Logistic Thermostat”. They introduced a relatively-stiff hyperbolic tangent thermostat force and successfully tested its ability ...
