Abstract

We rigorously show that dissipatively driven Frenkel-Kontorova models with either uniform or time-periodic driving asymptotically synchronize for a wide range of initial conditions. The main tool is a new Lyapunov function, as well as a 2D representation of the attractor. We then characterize dynamical phase transitions and outline new algorithms for determining them.
