Abstract

With the aid of numerical simulations of the ββ Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) system, we compare the different definitions of dynamical temperature for Hamiltonian systems. We have shown that each definition gives different values of temperature for a system with a small number of degrees of freedom (DOF). Only for systems with a sufficiently large number of DOF, do all the definitions of dynamical temperature approach the same value.
