Abstract

We show numerically that introducing the next-nearest-neighbor interactions (of appropriate strength) into the one-dimensional (1D) Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-β (FPU-β) lattice can result in an unusual, nonmonotonic temperature dependent divergence behavior in a wide temperature range, which is in clear contrast to the universal divergence manner independent of temperature as suggested previously in the conventional 1D FPU-β models with nearest-neighbor (NN) coupling only. We also discuss the underlying mechanism of this finding by analyzing the temperature variations of the properties of discrete breathers, especially that with frequencies having the intraband components. The results may provide useful information for establishing the connection between the macroscopic heat transport properties and the underlying dynamics in general 1D systems with interactions beyond NN couplings.
