Mixing and approach to equilibrium in the standard map

Statistical Mechanics 2015-06-24 v1

Abstract

For a paradigmatic case, the standard map, we discuss how the statistical description of the approach to equilibrium is related to the sensitivity to the initial conditions of the system. Using a numerical analysis we present an anomalous scenario that may give some insight on the foundations of the Tsallis' statistical mechanics.
