Mixing and approach to equilibrium in the standard map
arXiv:cond-mat/0109356 · doi:10.1016/S0378-4371(01)00650-1
Abstract
For a paradigmatic case, the standard map, we discuss how the statistical description of the approach to equilibrium is related to the sensitivity to the initial conditions of the system. Using a numerical analysis we present an anomalous scenario that may give some insight on the foundations of the Tsallis' statistical mechanics.
