  • Title: On chaotic dynamics in "pseudobilliard" Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom.
    Author: Eleonsky VM, Korolev VG, Kulagin NE.
    Journal: Chaos; 1997 Dec; 7(4):710-730. PubMed ID: 12779697.
    Abstract:
    A new class of Hamiltonian dynamical systems with two degrees of freedom is studied, for which the Hamiltonian function is a linear form with respect to moduli of both momenta. For different potentials such systems can be either completely integrable or behave just as normal nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom: one observes many of the phenomena characteristic of the latter ones, such as a breakdown of invariant tori as soon as the integrability is violated; a formation of stochastic layers around destroyed separatrices; bifurcations of periodic orbits, etc. At the same time, the equations of motion are simply integrated on subsequent adjacent time intervals, as in billiard systems; i.e., all the trajectories can be calculated explicitly: Given an initial data, the state of the system is uniquely determined for any moment. This feature of systems in interest makes them very attractive models for a study of nonlinear phenomena in finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. A simple representative model of this class (a model with quadratic potential), whose dynamics is typical, is studied in detail. (c) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
