摘要：
It is shown that a paradigm of classical statistical mechanics-the thermalization of a Brownian particle-has a low-dimensional, deterministic analog: When a heavy, slow system is coupled to fast, deterministic chaos, the resultant forces drive the slow degrees of freedom toward a state of statistical equilibrium with the fast degrees. This illustrates how concepts useful in statistical mechanics may apply in situations where low-dimensional chaos exists. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
