The relation between relaxation, the time scale of Lyapunov instabilities, and the Kolmogorov-Sinai time in a one-dimensional gravitating sheet system is studied. Both the maximum Lyapunov exponent and the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy decrease as proportional to N−1/5. The time scales determined by these quantities evidently differ from any type of relaxation time found in the previous investigatio...

In this work we derive an analytic expression for the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of dilute wet granular matter, valid for any spatial dimension. The grains are modeled as hard spheres and the influence of the wetting liquid is described according to the capillary model, in which dissipation is due to the hysteretic cohesion force of capillary bridges. The Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is expanded in a...

We discuss a quantum Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy defined as the production per unit time resulting from coupling system to weak, auxiliary bath. The expressions we obtain are fully quantum, but require that is such there separation between Ehrenfest and correlation timescales. show they reduce classical definition in semiclassical limit, one instance where this holds.

Connections between microscopic dynamical observables and macroscopic nonequilibrium (NE) properties have been pursued in statistical physics since Boltzmann, Gibbs, and Maxwell. The simulations we describe here establish a relationship between the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy and the energy dissipated as heat from a NE system to its environment. First, we show that the Kolmogorov-Sinai or dynamica...

We study the problem of entropy increase of the Bernoulli-shift map without recourse to the concept of trajectory and we discuss whether, and under which conditions if it does, the distribution density entropy coincides with the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, namely, with the trajectory entropy. 05.45.+b,03.65.Sq,05.20.-y Typeset using REVTEX 1
