Ergodicity of a Time-Reversibly Thermostated Harmonic Oscillator and the 2014 Ian Snook Prize
William Graham Hoover, Carol Griswold Hoover
Shuichi Nosé opened up a new world of atomistic simulation in 1984. He formulated a Hamiltonian tailored to generate Gibbs' canonical distribution dynamically. This clever idea bri…
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-…
Heat Conduction, and the Lack Thereof, in Time-Reversible Dynamical Systems: Generalized Nosé-Hoover Oscillators with a Temperature Gradient
Julien Clinton Sprott, William Graham Hoover, Carol Griswold Hoover
We use nonequilibrium molecular dynamics to analyze and illustrate the qualitative differences between the one-thermostat and two-thermostat versions of equilibrium and nonequilibr…
