Pseudorandomness of the Schrödinger Map Equation

Abstract

A unique behaviour of the Schrödinger map equation, a geometric partial differential equation, is presented by considering its evolution for regular polygonal curves in both Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces. The results are consistent with those for the vortex filament equation, an equivalent form of the Schrödinger map equation in the Euclidean space. Thus, with all possible choices of regular polygons in a given setting, our analysis not only provides a novel extension to its usefulness as a pseudorandom number generator but also complements the existing results.
