Upon initial excitation of a few normal modes the energy distribution among all modes of a nonlinear atomic chain (the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model) exhibits exponential localization on large time scales. At the same time, resonant anomalies (peaks) are observed in its weakly excited tail for long times preceding equipartition. We observe a similar resonant tail structure also for exact time-periodic Lyapunov orbits, coined q-breathers due to their exponential localization in modal space. We give a…

Numerically statistical distributions of sums of orbit coordinates in weakly chaotic regimes associated with the excitation of the first and last linear normal modes of the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam-α system under fixed boundary conditions show chaotic diffusion at low energies, supporting the view that when the energy is placed in the first mode weak chaos and "sticky" dynamics lead to a more gradual process of energy sharing.
