We report numerical evidence of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT)-like recurrence in weakly damped, periodically driven alpha-FPUT chains. In narrow regions of driving amplitude and damping, the steady-state energy is exchanged among a few…

The linear response to temperature variations is well characterised for equilibrium systems but a similar theory is not available, for example, for inertial heat conducting systems, whose paradigm is the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) model driven…

The $\alpha$-XY model generalizes, through the introduction of a power-law decaying potential, a well studied mean-field hamiltonian model with attractive long-range interactions. In the $\alpha$-model, the interaction between classical…

We investigate the dynamics of the Fermi--Pasta--Ulam--Tsingou chain with long-wavelength random initial data. When the energy per particle is small, thermal equilibrium is not reached on a fast timescale and the system enters…

The Alpha version of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam problem is revisited through direct numerical simulations and an application of weak turbulence theory. The energy spectrum, initialized with a large scale excitation, is traced through a series of…

We consider the original $\beta$-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou ($\beta$-FPUT) system; numerical simulations and theoretical arguments suggest that, for a finite number of masses, a statistical equilibrium state is reached independently of the…

We study the thermalization dynamics of one-dimensional diatomic lattices (which represents the simplest system possessing multi-branch phonons), exemplified by the famous Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT)-$\beta$ and the Toda models. Here we…

It is shown that the nonlinear wave equation $\partial_t^2\phi - \partial^2_x \phi -\mu_0\partial_x(\partial_x\phi)^3 =0$, which is the continuum limit of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) beta model, has a positive Lyapunov exponent lambda_1,…
