In this paper, we study small perturbations of a class of non-convex integrable Hamiltonians with two degrees of freedom, and we prove a result of diffusion for an open and dense set of perturbations, with an optimal time of diffusion which…
The relation between relaxation and diffusion is investigated in a Hamiltonian system of globally coupled rotators. Diffusion is anomalous if and only if the system is going towards equilibrium. The anomaly in diffusion is not anomalous…
We scrutinize the anomalies in diffusion observed in an extended long-range system of classical rotors, the HMF model. Under suitable preparation, the system falls into long-lived quasi-stationary states presenting super-diffusion of rotor…
