Mapping techniques classical dynamics

Another of Poincare s new methods was the reduction of the continuous phase-space flow of a classical dynamical system to a discrete mapping. This is certainly one of the most useful techniques ever introduced into the theory of dynamical systems. Modem journals on nonlinear dynamics abound with graphical representations of Poincare mappings. A quick glance into any one of these journals will attest to this fact. Because of the usefulness and the formal simplicity of mappings, this topic is introduced and discussed in Section 2.2. [Pg.30]

Analysis of this 7feff using the techniques of nonlinear classical dynamics reveals the structure of phase space (mapped as a continuous function of the conserved quantities E, Ka, and Kb) and the qualitative nature of the classical trajectory that corresponds to every eigenstate in every polyad. This analysis reveals qualitative changes, or bifurcations, in the dynamics, the onset of classical chaos, and the fraction of phase space associated with each qualitatively distinct class of regular (quasiperiodic) and chaotic trajectories. [Pg.729]

The ultrafast initial decay of the population of the diabatic S2 state is illustrated in Fig. 16 for the first 30 fs. Since the norm of the semiclassical wave function is only approximately conserved, the semiclassical results are displayed as rough data (dashed line) and normalized data (dotted line) [i.e. pnorm P2/ Pi + P2)]. The normalized results for the population are seen to match the quantum reference data quantitatively. It should be emphasized that the deviation of the norm shown in Fig. 16 is not a numerical problem, but rather confirms the common wisdom that a two-level system as well as its bosonic representation is a prime example of a quantum system and therefore difficult to describe within a semiclassical theory. Nevertheless, besides the well-known problem of norm conservation, the semiclassical mapping approach clearly reproduces the nonadiabatic quantum dynamics of the system. It is noted that the semiclassical results displayed in Fig. 16 have been obtained without using filtering techniques. Due to the highly chaotic classical dynamics of the system, therefore, a very large number of trajectories ( 2 x 10 ) is needed to achieve convergence, even over... [Pg.683]
