The 2-D sextic oscillator is studied as a family of axial symmetric parametric integrable Hamiltonian systems, presenting a bifurcation analysis of the different flows. It includes the "elliptic core" model in 1-D nonlinear oscillators, recently proposed in the literature. We make use of the energy-momentum mapping, which will give us the fundamental fibration of the four-dimensional phase space. Special attention is given to the singular values of the energy-momentum mapping connected with rectilinear and circular orbits. They are related to the saddle-center and pitchfork scenarios with the associated homoclinic and heteroclinic trajectories. We also study how the geometry of the phase space evolves during the transition from the one-dimensional to the two-dimensional model. Within an elliptic function approach, the solutions are given using Legendre elliptic integrals of the first and third kind and the corresponding Jacobi elliptic functions.

A Current

A one-dimensional model with no magnetic field is considered. It is supposed that the plasma starts in thermal equilibrium and then a current is forced to grow. Instability leads to the growth of waves, which are shown to stir the distribution in phase space, but only over a limited range of velocity. It is concluded that in order to restore stability the energy in the wave must become comparable to the energy of drift.

AbstractWe study the dynamics of classical localization in a simple, one-dimensional model of a tracking chamber. The emitted particle is represented by a superposition of Gaussian wave packets moving in opposite directions, and the detectors are two spins in fixed, opposite positions with respect to the central emitter. At variance with other similar studies, we give here a phase-space representation of the dynamics in terms of the Wigner matrix of the system. This allows a better visualization of the phenomenon and helps in its interpretation. In particular, we discuss the relationship of the localization process with the properties of entanglement possessed by the system.

Model Atom

In this paper, the interactions between a one-dimensional model atom and intense laser field is approximately described by a map. Both the classical version and quantum version of this map are studied. It is shown that besides classical stable islands which can bound some phase space region against ionization and then are responsible for the atomic stabilization, there is another structure in phase space, the unstable manifold, which can determine the ionization process of the system. Quantumly, the quantum quasienergy eigenstates (QE state) under absorptive boundaries, which directly related to the ionization process, are calculated. We define the QE state with smallest ionization rate as QE0 state, which represents the stabilization degree. The Wigner distribution of such QE0 state show clear fringe structures. Finally we show that the classical description and quantum description are in a correspondence manner.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.

We consider the paper by Brugnot and Pochat (1981), which describes a one-dimensional model applied to a snow avalanche. The main advance made here is the introduction of the second dimension in the runout zone. Indeed, in the channelled course, we still use the one-dimensional model, but, when the avalanche spreads before stopping, we apply a (x, y) grid on the ground and six equations have to be solved: (1) for the avalanche body, one equation for continuity and two equations for momentum conservation, and (2) at the front, one equation for continuity and two equations for momentum conservation. We suppose the front to be a mobile jump, with longitudinal velocity varying more rapidly than transverse velocity.We solve these equations by a finite difference method. This involves many topological problems, due to the actual position of the front, which is defined by its intersection with the reference grid (SI, YJ). In the near future our two directions of research will be testing the code on actual avalanches and improving it by trying to make it cheaper without impairing its accuracy.
