Multicanonical Sampling of Rare Trajectories in Chaotic Dynamical Systems

In chaotic dynamical systems, a number of rare trajectories with low level of chaoticity are embedded in chaotic sea, while extraordinary unstable trajectories can exist even in weakly chaotic regions. In this study, a quantitative method for searching these rare trajectories is developed; the method is based on multicanonical Monte Carlo and can estimate the probability of initial conditions that lead to trajectory fragments of a given level of chaoticity. The proposed method is successfully tested with four-dimensional coupled standard maps, where probabilities as small as $10^{-14}$ are estimated.
