Abstract.
We introduce, and numerically study, a system of N symplectically and globally coupled standard maps localized in a d=1 lattice array. The global coupling is modulated through a factor r-α, being r the distance between maps. Thus, interactions are long-range (nonintegrable) when 0≤α≤1, and short-range (integrable) when α>1. We verify that the largest Lyapunov exponent λM scales as λM ∝ N-κ(α), where κ(α) is positive when interactions are long-range, yielding weak chaos in the thermodynamic limit N↦∞ (hence λM→0). In the short-range case, κ(α) appears to vanish, and the behaviour corresponds to strong chaos. We show that, for certain values of the control parameters of the system, long-lasting metastable states can be present. Their duration tc scales as tc ∝Nβ(α), where β(α) appears to be numerically in agreement with the following behavior: β>0 for 0 ≤α< 1, and zero for α≥1. These results are consistent with features typically found in nonextensive statistical mechanics. Moreover, they exhibit strong similarity between the present discrete-time system, and the α-XY Hamiltonian ferromagnetic model.

The q-exponential is defined as exp q(x)≡[1+(1-q)x]1/1-q and its inverse is the q-logarithm, lnq(x)≡(x1-q-1)/(1-q). The usual exponential and logarithm are recovered when q→1

This is a consequence of the Oseledec theorem that states that, assuming ergodicity, (almost) any exponential growth tends to an asymptotic value λ0, independently of the orbit and for (almost) all intial conditions; see for example, V.I.
