Abstract

FPUT lattices KdV approximation Solitary waves Stochastic homogenization Random coefficient differential equations
We consider a Fermi-Pasta–Ulam-Tsingou lattice with randomly varying coefficients. We discover a relatively simple condition which when placed on the nature of the randomness allows us to prove that small amplitude/long wavelength solutions are almost surely rigorously approximated by solutions of Korteweg–de Vries equations for very long times. The key ideas combine energy estimates with homogenization theory and the technical proof requires a novel application of autoregressive processes.
