摘要:
The dynamic and stochastic properties of a system of point vortices occurring at the vertices of a regular N-gon have been investigated. The time of reversibility of the phase trajectories was determined and their stability was studied. It is established that such a system exhibits stochastic properties only in the presence of a local instability, which is possible for N greater than or equal to 8.
