Chaotic Systems with Absorption

arXiv:1308.3081 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.144101

Abstract

Motivated by applications in optics and acoustics we develop a dynamical-system approach to describe absorption in chaotic systems. We introduce an operator formalism from which we obtain (i) a general formula for the escape rate in terms of the natural conditionally-invariant measure of the system; (ii) an increased multifractality when compared to the spectrum of dimensions obtained without taking absorption and return times into account; and (iii) a generalization of the Kantz-Grassberger formula that expresses in terms of , the positive Lyapunov exponent, the average return time, and a new quantity, the reflection rate. Simulations in the cardioid billiard confirm these results.
