The Discreteness-driven Relaxation of Collisionless Gravitating Systems: Entropy Evolution in External Potentials, N-dependence, and the Role of Chaos
(2019-01-10)
We investigate the old problem of the fast relaxation of collisionless N-body systems that are collapsing or perturbed,
emphasizing the importance of (noncollisional) discreteness effects. We integrate orbit ensembles in ...
