Environment-induced dynamical chaos
arXiv:nlin/0005037 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.62.4409
Abstract
We examine the interplay of nonlinearity of a dynamical system and thermal fluctuation of its environment in the ``physical limit'' of small damping and slow diffusion in a semiclassical context and show that the trajectories of c-number variables exhibit dynamical chaos due to the thermal fluctuations of the bath.
