We assess the ergodic properties of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou-$\alpha$ model for generic initial conditions using a Toda integral. It serves as an adiabatic invariant for the system and a suitable observable to measure its equilibrium…
Most studies on the problem of equilibration of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) system have focused on equipartition of energy being attained amongst the normal modes of the corresponding harmonic system. In the present work, we instead…
We study the slow relaxation of isolated quasi-integrable systems, focusing on the classical problem of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPU) chain. It is well-known that the initial energy sharing between different linear-modes can be inferred by…
We devote our studies to the subject of weakly nonintegrable dynamics of systems with a macroscopic number of degrees of freedom. Our main points of interest are the relations between the timescales of thermalization and the timescales of…
FPU models, in dimension one, are perturbations either of the linear model or of the Toda model; perturbations of the linear model include the usual $\beta$-model, perturbations of Toda include the usual $\alpha+\beta$ model. In this paper…
Nonequilibrium and thermal transport properties of the Toda chain, a prototype of classically integrable system, subject to additional (nonintegrable) terms are considered. In particular, we study via equilibrium and nonequilibrium…

We investigate the equilibration process of the strongly coupled quartic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) model by adding Langevin baths to the ends of the chain. The time evolution of the system is investigated by means of extensive…
A numerical and analytical study of the relaxation to equilibrium of both the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) alpha-model and the integrable Toda model, when the fundamental mode is initially excited, is reported. We show that the dynamics of both…
The FPUT paradox is the phenomenon whereby a one-dimensional chain of oscillators with nonlinear couplings shows non-ergodic behavior. The trajectory of the system in phase space, with a long wavelength initial condition, closely follows…

Nonintegrability is a necessary condition for the thermalization of a generic Hamiltonian system. In practice, the integrability can be broken in various ways. As illustrating examples, we numerically studied the thermalization behaviors of…
