Macroscopic energy diffusion for a chain of anharmonic oscillators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the energy diffusion in a chain of anharmonic oscillators where the Hamiltonian dynamics is perturbed by a local energy conserving noise. We prove that under diffusive rescaling of space-time, energy fluctuations diffuse and evolve following an infinite dimensional linear stochastic differential equation driven by the linearized heat equation. We also give variational expressions for the thermal diffusivity and some upper and lower bounds.

Energy Diffusion in Harmonic System with Conservative Noise
Lattice networks of oscillators have been considered for a long time as good models for studying macroscopic energy trasport and its diffusion, i.e. for obtaining, on a macroscopic space-time scale, heat equation and Fourier law of conduction ([1]). It is well understood that the diffusive behavior of the energy is due to the non-linearity of the interactions, and that purely deterministic harm...
متن کاملToward the Fourier law for a weakly interacting anharmonic crystal
For a system of weakly interacting anharmonic oscillators, perturbed by an energy preserving stochastic dynamics, we prove an autonomous (stochastic) evolution for the energies at large time scale (with respect to the coupling parameter). It turn out that this macroscopic evolution is given by the so called conservative (non-gradient) Ginzburg-Landau system of stochastic differential equations....
متن کاملThermal conductivity for a chain of anharmonic oscillators perturbed by a conservative noise
We consider d-dimensional chains of (an)harmonic oscillators we perturb by a noise conserving energy or energy and momentum. We review the thermal conduction properties we obtained for these systems ([8], [1], [6], [2]) and conclude by several open questions.
متن کاملAnomalous energy transport in FPU-β chain
This paper is devoted to the derivation of a macroscopic diffusion equation (Fourier’s law) describing the transport of energy in an anharmonic chain. More precisely, we study here the so-called FPU-β chain, which is a very simple model for a one-dimensional crystal in which atoms are coupled to their nearest neighbors by a harmonic potential, weakly perturbed by a quartic potential. The starti...

We study the dynamic behavior at high energies of a chain of anharmonic oscillators coupled at its ends to heat baths at possibly different temperatures. In our setup, each oscillator is subject to a homogeneous anharmonic pinning potential V1(qi) = |qi|2k/2k and harmonic coupling potentials V2(qi − qi−1) = (qi − qi−1)2/2 between itself and its nearest neighbors. We consider the case k > 1 when...
