Two analyses of the phase transition, either with the transfer integral approach or by considering the instability of a nonlinear particular solution, are discussed. Conversely, the computation of the largest Lyapunov exponent is obtained within a thermodynamic treatment. Differences with the Peyrard-Bishop model are also discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-07-26T08:11:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "simple one-dimensional model", "nonlinear dynamics", "statistical mechanics", "simple nonlinear model", "largest lyapunov exponent" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004cond.mat..7662Q" } } }
