Aspects of Nosé and Nosé-Hoover Dynamics Elucidated
W. G. Hoover, C. G. Hoover
Some paradoxical aspects of the Nosé and Nosé-Hoover dynamics of 1984 and Dettmann's dynamics of 1996 are elucidated. Phase-space descriptions of thermostated harmonic oscillator d…
The 2017 SNOOK PRIZES in Computational Statistical Mechanics
Wm. G. Hoover, Carol G. Hoover
The 2017 Snook Prize has been awarded to Kenichiro Aoki for his exploration of chaos in Hamiltonian models. His work addresses symmetries, thermalization, and Lyapunov instab…
What is liquid? Lyapunov instability reveals symmetry-breaking irreversibilities hidden within Hamilton's many-body equations of motion
Wm. G. Hoover, C. G. Hoover
Typical Hamiltonian liquids display exponential "Lyapunov instability", also called "sensitive dependence on initial conditions". Although Hamilton's equations are thoroughly time-…
Shockwave Compression and Joule-Thomson Expansion
Wm. G. Hoover, Carol G. Hoover, Karl P. Travis
Structurally-stable atomistic one-dimensional shockwaves have long been simulated by injecting fresh cool particles and extracting old hot particles at opposite ends of a simulatio…
Time-Symmetry Breaking in Hamiltonian Mechanics
Wm. G. Hoover, Carol G. Hoover
Hamiltonian trajectories are strictly time-reversible. Any time series of Hamiltonian coordinates {q} satisfying Hamilton's motion equations will likewise satisfy them when played…
Comment on "Logarithmic Oscillators: Ideal Hamiltonian Thermostats" [arXiv 1203.5968]
Marc Meléndez, William G. Hoover, Pep Español
Campisi, Zhan, Talkner and Hänggi have recently proposed a novel Hamiltonian thermostat which they claim may be used both in simulations and experiments [arXiv:1203.5968v4]. We sho…
