Non-perturbative non-integrability of non-homogeneous nonlinear lattices induced by non-resonance hypothesis

Abstract

We prove the non-integrability (non-existence of additional analytic conserved quantities other than Hamiltonian) for Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattices by virtue of Lyapunov-Kovalevskaya- -Ziglin-Yoshida's monodromy method about the variational equations. The key to this analysis is that the normal variational equations along a certain solution happen to be in a type of Lamé equations. We also introduce the classification problem towards non-homogeneous nonlinear lattices including FPU lattices using non-integrability preserving transformation.
