We address the problem of equipartition in a long Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chain. After giving a precise relation between FPU and Korteweg-de Vries we use the latter equation to show that, corresponding to initial data a la Fermi, the time average of the energy on the kth mode decreases exponentially with k/N. The result persists in the thermodynamic limit.

Abstract
We address the problem of equipartition in a long Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chain. After giving a precise relation between FPU and Korteweg-de Vries we use the latter equation to show that, corresponding to initial data a la Fermi, the time average of the energy on the kth mode decreases exponentially with k/N. The result persists in the thermodynamic limit.
