Abstract:
We investigate the relation between the chaotic dynamics and the hierarchical phase-space structure of the standard map as an example for generic Hamiltonian systems with a mixed phase space. We demonstrate that even in ideal situations when the phase-space structure is dominated by a single scaling, the long-time dynamics is not dominated by this scaling. This has consequences for the power-law decay of correlations and Poincaré recurrences.

Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

The statement can be further generalized to prove that entropy is a state function. Take a cyclic process between any two points on a p-V diagram.

Pole and System Stability
Simple poles are unique roots of the denominator polynomial. Each simple pole corresponds to a distinct solution to the system's characteristic equation, typically resulting in exponential decay terms in the system's response.
