Nonequilibrium phenomena in nonlinear lattices: from slow relaxation to anomalous transport

Pattern Formation and Solitons 2020-06-23 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

This Chapter contains an overview of the effects of nonlinear interactions in selected problems of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Most of the emphasis is put on open setups, where energy is exchanged with the environment. With reference to a few models of classical coupled anharmonic oscillators, we review anomalous but general properties such as extremely slow relaxation processes, or non-Fourier heat transport.
