Some paradoxical aspects of the Nose and Nose-Hoover dynamics of 1984 and Dettmann's dynamics of 1996 are elucidated. Phase-space descriptions of thermostated harmonic oscillator dynamics can be simultaneously expanding, incompressible, or contracting, as is described here by a variety of three- and four-dimensional phase-space models. These findings illustrate some surprising consequences when Liouville's continuity equation is applied to Hamiltonian flows.

Hamiltonian reformulation and pairing of Lyapunov exponents for Nose-Hoover dynamics

The Nose Hamiltonian is adapted, leading to a derivation of the Nose-Hoover equations of motion which does not involve time transformations, and in which the degree of freedom corresponding to the…

Canonical dynamics of the Nosé oscillator: Stability, order, and chaos.

The Nose oscillator is a borderline case, not sufficiently chaotic for a fully statistical description, and it is suggested that the behavior of only slightly more complicated systems is considerably simpler and in accord with statistical mechanics.

The Coexistence of Invariant Tori and Topological Horseshoe in a Generalized Nosé-Hoover Oscillator

Horseshoe chaos can be demonstrated by applying the topological horseshoe theory to a Poincare map defined in a proper cross-section, which further shows the coexistence of infinitely stable periodic trajectories and infinite saddle periodic trajectoryories.

The dynamical steady-state probability density is found in an extended phase space with variables x, p/sub x/, V, epsilon-dot, and zeta, where the x are reduced distances and the two variables epsilus-dot andZeta act as thermodynamic friction coefficients.
