Abstract:
As periodic orbit theory works badly on computing the observable averages of dynamical systems with intermittency, we propose a scheme to cooperate with cycle expansion and perturbation theory so that we can deal with intermittent systems and compute the averages more precisely. The periodic orbit theory assumes that the shortest unstable periodic orbits build the framework of the system and provide cycle expansion to compute dynamical quantities based on them, while the perturbation theory can locally analyze the structure of dynamical systems. The dynamical averages may be obtained more precisely by combining the two techniques together. Based on the integrability near the marginal orbits and the hyperbolicity in the part away from the singularities in intermittent systems, the chief idea of this paper is to revise intermittent maps and maintain the natural measure produced by the original maps. We get the natural measure near the singularity through the Taylor expansions, and the periodic orbit theory captures the natural measure in the other parts of the phase space. We try this method on one-dimensional intermittent maps with single singularity, and more precise results are achieved.

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
