Complexity and non-separability of classical Liouvillian dynamics

Chaotic Dynamics 2015-05-19 v2

Abstract

We propose a simple complexity indicator of classical Liouvillian dynamics, namely the separability entropy, which determines the logarithm of an effective number of terms in a Schmidt decomposition of phase space density with respect to an arbitrary fixed product basis. We show that linear growth of separability entropy provides stricter criterion of complexity than Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, namely it requires that dynamics is exponentially unstable, non-linear and non-markovian.
