Title:
The Toda Lattice with Almost Periodic Initial Data

Speaker:
Tom Vandenboom

Abstract:
The Toda lattice is a completely integrable system of differential equations modeling infinite chains of particles with nearest-neighbor interactions. Via numerical experiments in the 1950s, solutions to these types of system are expected to approach almost-periodic solutions in time. We demonstrate this time almost-periodicity for a class of solutions with almost periodic initial data having absolutely continuous spectrum satisfying a certain thickness condition.
