We deal with dynamics of the~$\beta$-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou chain with one free end, subjected to the sinusoidal periodic force. We examine evolution of the total energy, supplied at large times. In the harmonic case~($\beta=0$), the…

We consider a $\pi$-mode solution of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam $\beta$ system. By perturbing it, we study the system as a function of the energy density from a regime where the solution is stable to a regime, where is unstable, first weakly and…

The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chains of particles in \textit{thermal equilibrium} are studied from both wave-interaction and particle-interaction points of view. It is shown that, even in a strongly nonlinear regime, the chain in thermal…

We show that the standard Fermi--Pasta--Ulam system, with a suitable choice for the interparticle potential, constitutes a model for glasses, and indeed an extremely simple and manageable one. Indeed, it allows one to describe the landscape…

We study numerically time evolution of a system which consists of two attractors connected by Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chain. It is found that after sufficiently long time there exits self-consistent large scale structure in the system. The…

We study the original $\alpha$-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) system with $N=16,32$ and $64$ masses connected by a nonlinear quadratic spring. Our approach is based on resonant wave-wave interaction theory, i.e. we assume that, in the weakly…

This review provides an up-to-date account of energy transport in Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) chains, a key testbed for nonequilibrium statistical physics. We discuss the transition from the historical puzzle of thermalization to the…
