Abstract:
In this paper, we study the inhomogeneity of chaotic sea properties far from islands in billiardlike systems and its influence on distributions of particle's return times. A visibly homogeneous chaotic sea at certain parameters has a nontrivial internal structure, in particular, being divided into two chaotic phases with different properties. These phases are not separated by any obstacles, neither in phase nor in configuration spaces, and are partially overlaying. The emergence of a chaotic sea structure may be explained by the existence of remnants of integrable behavior, like sites of regular trajectories of broken islands of stability built into the chaotic sea. In the case of such chaotic seas, we find distributions of return times with two main sites of exponential decay.

Entropy
When an ideal gas expands isothermally, the disorder in the gas increases. From the molecular perspective, the gas molecules have more volume to move around in.
Consider an infinitesimal step in the expansion, which...

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.
