Generalized Lyapunov exponents of the random harmonic oscillator: cumulant expansion approach
arXiv:1111.5831 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.85.021124
Abstract
The cumulant expansion is used to estimate generalized Lyapunov exponents of the random-frequency harmonic oscillator. Three stochastic processes are considered: Gaussian white noise, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, and Poisson shot noise. In some cases, nontrivial numerical difficulties arise. These are mostly solved by implementing an appropriate importance-sampling Montecarlo scheme. We analyze the relation between random-frequency oscillators and many-particle systems with pairwise interactions like the Lennard-Jones gas.
