This system consists of a $d$-dimensional lattice of classical spins with interactions that decay with distance following a power-law, the range being adjustable. In disordered regimes the Lyapunov exponent can be easily estimated by means of the \"stochastic approach\", a theoretical scheme based on van Kampen's cumulant expansion. The stochastic approach expresses the Lyapunov exponent as a function of a few statistical properties of the Hessian matrix of the interaction that can be calculated as suitable microcanonical averages. We have verified that there is a very good agreement between theory and numerical simulations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-11-16T13:25:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "largest lyapunov exponent", "long-range xy systems", "van kampens cumulant expansion", "high energy regime", "stochastic approach expresses" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
