چکیده
We apply the Lindstedt method to the one dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam β lattice to find fully general solutions to the complete set of equations of motion. The pertubative scheme employed uses ǫ as the expansion parameter, where ǫ is the coefficient of the quartic coupling between nearest neighbors. We compare our non-secular perturbative solutions to numerical solutions and find striking agreement.

THE FERMI-PASTA-ULAM LATTICE Background The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice is named after the experiments
The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice is named after the experiments performed by Enrico Fermi, John Pasta, and Stanislaw Ulam in 1954-5 on the Los Alamos MANIAC computer, one of the first electronic computers. As reported in Ulam’s autobiography [Uh], Fermi immediately suggested using the new machine for theoretical work, and it was decided to start by studying the vibrations of a string under the infl...
متن کاملCounter-propagating two-soliton solutions in the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam lattice
We study the interaction of small amplitude, long-wavelength solitary waves in the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam model with general nearest-neighbour interaction potential. We establish global-in-time existence and stability of counterpropagating solitary wave solutions. These solutions are close to the linear superposition of two solitary waves for large positive and negative values of time; for intermedia...
متن کاملAn integrable approximation for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice
This contribution presents a review of results obtained from computations of approximate equations of motion for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice. These approximate equations are obtained as a finite-dimensional Birkhoff normal form. It turns out that in many cases, the Birkhoff normal form is suitable for application of the KAM theorem. In particular this proves Nishida’s 1971 conjecture stating t...
متن کاملSymmetric invariant manifolds in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice
The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattice with periodic boundary conditions and n particles admits a large group of discrete symmetries. The fixed point sets of these symmetries naturally form invariant symplectic manifolds that are investigated in this short note. For each k dividing n we find k degree of freedom invariant manifolds. They represent short wavelength solutions composed of k Fourier-mod...
متن کاملAsymptotic two-soliton solutions solutions in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model
We prove the existence of asymptotic two-soliton states in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model with general interaction potential. That is, we exhibit solutions whose difference in l from the linear superposition of two solitary waves goes to zero as time goes to infinity.
