Coupled map models for chaos in extended systems.
Coupled maps with conserved quantities are introduced as models for chaos in extended systems. The long-wavelength limit of a simple one-dimensional example is investigated in detail. A Langevin equation for this system is derived, and the applicability of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem is discussed. Several numerical experiments to investigate possible thermodynamic properties are described.
