Smaller Alignment Index (sali): Detecting Order and Chaos in Conservative Dynamical Systems
We apply the method of the Smaller Alignment Index (SALI) for determining the ordered or chaotic nature of orbits, on some examples of Hamiltonian systems and symplectic maps. Finding the SALI for a sample of initial conditions allows us to distinguish clearly between regions of phase space where ordered or chaotic motion occurs. The computation of SALI is performed rather easily: For a given o...
متن کاملDetecting order and chaos in Hamiltonian systems by the SALI method
We use the Smaller Alignment Index (SALI) to distinguish rapidly and with certainty between ordered and chaotic motion in Hamiltonian flows. This distinction is based on the different behavior of the SALI for the two cases: the index fluctuates around non–zero values for ordered orbits, while it tends rapidly to zero for chaotic orbits. We present a detailed study of SALI’s behavior for chaotic...
متن کاملSmaller alignment index ( SALI ) : Determining the ordered or chaotic nature of orbits in conservative dynamical systems
We apply the smaller alignment index (SALI) method for distinguishing between ordered and chaotic motion in some simple conservative dynamical systems. In particular we compute the SALI for ordered and chaotic orbits in a 2D and a 4D symplectic map, as well as a two–degree of freedom Hamiltonian system due to Hénon & Heiles. In all cases, the SALI determines correctly the nature of the tested o...
متن کامل1 3 D ec 2 00 5 Application of the SALI chaos detection method to accelerator mappings
We apply the Smaller ALignment Index (SALI) method to a 4–dimensional mapping of accelerator dynamics in order to distinguish rapidly, reliably and accurately between ordered and chaotic motion. The main advantage of this index is that it tends exponentially to zero in the case of chaotic orbits, while it fluctuates around non–zero values in the case of quasiperiodic trajectories. Thus, it avoi...
