Collective Chaos
Abstract
An algorithm to characterize collective motion is presented, with the introduction of ``collective Lyapunov exponent'', as the orbital instability at a macroscopic level. By applying the algorithm to a globally coupled map, existence of low-dimensional collective chaos is confirmed, where the scale of (high-dimensional) microscopic chaos is separated from the macroscopic motion, and the scale approaches zero in the thermodynamic limit. pacs:05.45+b,05.90+m,64.60.Cn
