Dynamical phase transition in the simplest molecular chain model

Abstract

We consider the dynamics of the simplest chain of large number $N$ of particles. We find, in the double scaling limit, the partition of the parameter space onto two domains, where for one domain the supremum (over all time interval $(0,\infty)$ of relative extension tenda to $1$ as $N\to\infty$. and for the other this supremum tends to infinity as $N\to\infty$.
