NONLINEAR DYNAMICS: QUANTUM CHAOS ----------------------------------------------------------- Georgia Tech PHYS 7224 Spring semester 2002 Predrag Cvitanovic' Lecture 18 Tue, Mar 19 2002 12:05-13:25 in Howey S106 Recycling ----------------- catching up is so hard to do Problem set (reminder): ------------ Exer 3.7 Pinball simulator write a pinball simulator (a particle running between 3 equidistant disks in the plane), draw few trajectories in the configuration space, and in the Poincare section (disk perimeter, parallel velocity at impact) plane. Exer 3.8 Pinball repeller (optional) Exer 4.3 Fundamental domain fixed points Exer 4.4 Fundamental domain 2-cycle (optional) 2) write a [2x2] Jacobian matrix routine for the above simulator 3) test it against analytic result for the 2-disk bouncing periodic orbit. due in stages - progress report (send me an e-mail with plots attached) by next thursday, - running simulator by Tue, Mar ?? 2002 --------------------------------------------------------------
