An Analysis of Some Properties and the Use of the Twist Map for the Finite Frenkel–Kontorova Model

We discuss the twist map, with a special interest in its use for the finite Frenkel–Kontorova model. We explain the meaning of the tensile force in some proposed models. We demonstrate that the application of the twist map for the finite FK model is not correct, because the procedure ignores the nec...

description We discuss the twist map, with a special interest in its use for the finite Frenkel–Kontorova model. We explain the meaning of the tensile force in some proposed models. We demonstrate that the application of the twist map for the finite FK model is not correct, because the procedure ignores the necessary boundary conditions.
