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…

We introduce a generalized $d$-dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) model in presence of long-range interactions, and perform a first-principle study of its chaos for $d=1,2,3$ through large-scale numerical simulations. The nonlinear…
Nonlinear normal modes are periodic orbits that survive in nonlinear many-body Hamiltonian systems, and their instability is crucial for relaxation dynamics. Here, we study the instability process of the $\pi/3$-mode in the…
All possible symmetry-determined nonlinear normal modes (also called by simple periodic orbits, one-mode solutions etc.) in both hard and soft Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-$\beta$ chains are discussed. A general method for studying their stability in…
