    The effect of long–range interactions on the dynamics and statistics of 1D Hamiltonian lattices with on–site potential
    (arXiv, 2018-04) Christodoulidi, H.; Bountis, Tassos; Drossos, L.
    We examine the role of long–range interactions on the dynamical and statistical properties of two 1D lattices with on–site potentials that are known to support discrete breathers: the Klein–Gordon (KG) lattice which includes linear dispersion and the Gorbach–Flach (GF) lattice, which shares the same on–site potential but its dispersion is purely nonlinear. In both models under the implementation of long–range interactions (LRI) we find that single–site excitations lead to special low–dimensional solutions, which are well described by the undamped Duffing oscillator. For random initial conditions we observe that the maximal Lyapunov exponent scales as N−0.12 in the KG model and as N−0.27 in the GF with LRI, suggesting in that case an approach to integrable behavior towards the thermodynamic limit. Furthermore, under LRI, their non-Gaussian momentum distributions are distinctly different from those of the FPU model.
